Configuration procedure

  1. Configure the SNMP agent:

    # Configure the IP address of the agent and make sure the agent and the NMS can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

    # Specify SNMPv1, and create the read-only community public and the read and write community private.

    <Agent> system-view
    [Agent] snmp-agent sys-info version v1
    [Agent] snmp-agent community read public
    [Agent] snmp-agent community write private
    

    # Configure contact and physical location information for the agent.

    [Agent] snmp-agent sys-info contact Mr.Wang-Tel:3306
    [Agent] snmp-agent sys-info location telephone-closet,3rd-floor
    

    # Enable SNMP notifications, specify the NMS at 1.1.1.2 as an SNMP trap destination, and use public as the community name. (To make sure the NMS can receive traps, specify the same SNMP version in the snmp-agent target-host command as is configured on the NMS.)

    [Agent] snmp-agent trap enable
    [Agent] snmp-agent target-host trap address udp-domain 1.1.1.2 params securityname public v1
    
  2. Configure the SNMP NMS:

    • Specify SNMPv1.

    • Create the read-only community public, and create the read and write community private.

    • Set the timeout timer and maximum number of retries as needed.

    For information about configuring the NMS, see the NMS manual.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE:

    The SNMP settings on the agent and the NMS must match.
