SHOW SNMP

Syntax

show snmp [community=”community”]

Parameter

community

Specifies a community string on the switch. This

parameter is case sensitive. The name must be
enclosed in double quotes if it contains a space.
Otherwise, the quotes are optional. Default
community strings are “public” and “private.”

Description

This command displays the following SNMP information:

❑ SNMP status - The status will be enabled or disabled. If enabled,

you can manage the switch with an SNMP application program
from a remote management station. If disabled, you cannot
remotely manage the switch using SNMP. The default for SNMP is
disabled. To enable SNMP, refer ENABLE SNMP on page 85. To
disable SNMP, refer to DISABLE SNMP on page 82.

❑ Authentication failure traps - This status will be enabled or

disabled. If enabled, the switch sends out authentication failure
traps to trap receivers. If disabled, the switch will not send out
authentication failure traps, but will send out other system traps.
The switch sends an authentication failure trap whenever a SNMP
management station attempts to access the switch using an
incorrect or invalid community string, or the management
station’s IP address has not been added to a community string
that has a closed access status. The default setting is enabled.

To enable authentication failure traps, refer to ENABLE SNMP
AUTHENTICATETRAP on page 86.
To disable the sending of
this trap, see DISABLE SNMP AUTHENTICATETRAP on page 83.
To add IP addresses of management stations to receive the
trap, refer to the ADD SNMP COMMUNITY on page 75.

❑ SNMP community strings - The switch comes with the two default

community strings public, which has read access, and private,
which has read and write access. To add new community strings,
see CREATE SNMP COMMUNITY on page 77. To delete community
strings, refer to DESTROY SNMP COMMUNITY on page 81.
