Chapter 29
Configuring SNMP
The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The snmp-server
enable trap command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and
informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an snmp-server host informs
command for the host and globally enable informs by using the snmp-server enable traps command.
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not
informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs global configuration
command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps notification-types global
configuration command.

SNMP agent so that these descriptions can be accessed through the configuration file:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
snmp-server contact text
Step 3
snmp-server location text
Step 4
end
Step 5
show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
Limiting TFTP Servers Used Through SNMP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to limit the TFTP servers used for saving and
loading configuration files through SNMP to the servers specified in an access list:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
snmp-server tftp-server-list
access-list-number
OL-13018-01
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Set the system contact string.
For example:
snmp-server contact Dial System Operator at beeper 21555.
Set the system location string.
For example:
snmp-server location Building 3/Room 222
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Limit TFTP servers used for configuration file copies through
SNMP to the servers in the access list.
For access-list-number, enter an IP standard access list numbered
