obtain the data required for the configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task
quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
SNMP needs to be deployed in a network to allow the NM station to manage network devices.
If the network has a few devices and its security is good, such as a campus network or a small
enterprise network, SNMPv1 can be deployed to ensure the normal communication between the
NM station and managed devices.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a device to communicate with an NM station by running SNMPv1, complete
the following task:
l
Configuring a routing protocol to ensure that the switch and NM station are routable
Data Preparation
Before configuring a device to communicate with an NM station by running SNMPv1, you need
the following data.
No.
Data
1
SNMP version, SNMP community name, destination address of alarm messages,
administrator's contact information and location, and SNMP packet size
2
(Optional) ACL number, IP address of the NM station, and MIB object
3
(Optional) Name of the alarm-sending module, source address of trap messages,
queue length for trap messages, and lifetime of trap messages
4
(Optional) Number of interfaces indexed by fixed numbers
1.2.2 Configuring Basic SNMPv1 Functions
After basic SNMP functions are configured, an NM station can perform basic operations such
as Get and Set operations on a managed device, and the managed device can send alarms to the
NM station.
Context
Steps
, and
are mandatory for the configuration of basic SNMP functions. After the
configurations are complete, basic SNMP communication can be conducted between the NM
station and managed device.
