Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and Syslog
Overview
This chapter contains commands to configure and monitor the simple network management protocol
(SNMP) v1/v2 and Syslog. The chapter contains the following sections:
•
SNMP Commands
•
Syslog Commands
SNMP Commands
The SNMP command available in the Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) is:
•
snmp-server community
The SNMP is used to communicate management information between the network management
stations and the agents in the network elements. FTOS supports SNMP versions 1, and 2c supporting
only read-only mode.
Important Points to Remember
•
Typically, 5-second timeout and 3-second retry values on an SNMP server are sufficient for both
local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) applications. If you experience a timeout
with these values, the recommended best practice on Dell Force10 switches (to accommodate their
high port density) is to increase the timeout and retry values on your SNMP server to the
following:
— SNMP Timeout—greater than 3 seconds
— SNMP Retry count—greater than 2 seconds
•
SNMP operations are not supported on a virtual LAN (VLAN).
Syslog Commands
The following commands allow you to configure logging functions on all Dell Force10 switches:
•
clear logging
•
logging hostname
•
logging buffered
•
logging console
•
logging facility
•
logging history
•
logging history size
•
logging monitor
•
logging on
•
logging source-interface
•
logging trap
