Retrieving SNMP data using event OIDs

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal
                     

SNMP is enabled by default. Verify that it is enabled:

hostname (config) # show snmp
                     

If the output shows SNMP enabled: no, enter the snmp-server enable command.

Enable the appliance to send notifications to the SNMP manager:

hostname (config) # snmp-server enable notify
                     

Specify the IP address of the SNMP manager:

hostname (config) # snmp-server host <IPAddress> traps public
                     

Enable SNMP communities:

hostname (config) # snmp-server enable communities
                     

Add an SNMP community:

hostname (config) # snmp-server community <community>
                     

where <community> is the string needed by the SNMP server to query the appliance. The default community string is public.

Limit SNMP access to the listen interface called ether1:

hostname (config) # snmp-server listen interface ether1
                     

Enable access to the listen interface:

hostname (config) # snmp-server listen enable
                     

Save your changes:

hostname (config) # write memory
