Configuring SNMP on a Network Device

Configuring Network Devices for Management

Cisco UGM communicates with managed devices through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You must configure each network device for SNMP before it can be managed by Cisco UGM. You must configure:

• SNMP trap source
  
  
• SNMP trap destination
  
  
• SNMP community strings
  
  

You must configure SNMP for the following devices:

• Cisco AS5300
  
  
• Cisco AS5350
  
  
• Cisco AS5400
  
  
• Cisco AS5800
  
  
• Cisco AS5850
  
  

Configuring SNMP on a Network Device

Step 1   To access the device, enter:

telnet device IP address

Where device IP address is the IP address of the device on which you are configuring SNMP.

Step 2   To enter the enable mode, type:

AS5xxx> enable

Step 3   To enter the configuration mode, type:

AS5xxx# configure terminal

Step 4   To configure SNMP on the device, enter these commands:

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server community ReadOnlyCommunityString RO

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server community ReadWriteCommunityString RW

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart warmstart

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server enable traps entity

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server trap-source interface name

AS5xxx (config)# snmp-server host server IP address

Where:

• ReadOnlyCommunityString is the name of a read-only community string assigned to the device. This community string allows you to perform queries and get requests only.
  
  
• ReadWriteCommunityString is the name of a read-write community string assigned to the device. This community string allows you to perform configuration changes.
  
  
• Interface name is the interface that Cisco UGM uses to discover the device.
  
  
• Server IP address is the IP address of the server where Cisco UGM is installed.
  
  

For an explanation of these commands and their options, see the Cisco IOS documentation.

Note   The community strings specified for this device must match the community strings specified when the Cisco UGM device was deployed and discovered. If you change the community string values on the device, you must make the corresponding changes in the Cisco UGM Object Configuration dialog box. (Refer to the Cisco Universal Gateway Manager User Guide.)
