SNMP Examples
This example shows how to enable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C. The configuration permits any SNMP
manager to access all objects with read-only permissions using the community string public. This
configuration does not cause the switch to send any traps.
Switch(config)# snmp-server community public
This example shows how to permit any SNMP manager to access all objects with read-only permission
using the community string public. The switch also sends VTP traps to the hosts 192.180.1.111 and
192.180.1.33 using SNMPv1 and to the host 192.180.1.27 using SNMPv2C. The community string
public is sent with the traps.
Switch(config)# snmp-server community public
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps vtp
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 192.180.1.27 version 2c public
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 192.180.1.111 version 1 public
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 192.180.1.33 public
This example shows how to allow read-only access for all objects to members of access list 4 that use
the comaccess community string. No other SNMP managers have access to any objects. SNMP
Authentication Failure traps are sent by SNMPv2C to the host cisco.com using the community string
public.
Switch(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 4
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication
Switch(config)# snmp-server host cisco.com version 2c public
This example shows how to send Entity MIB traps to the host cisco.com. The community string is
restricted. The first line enables the switch to send Entity MIB traps in addition to any traps previously
enabled. The second line specifies the destination of these traps and overwrites any previous
snmp-server host commands for the host cisco.com.
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps entity
Switch(config)# snmp-server host cisco.com restricted entity
This example shows how to enable the switch to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the
community string public:
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public
