Managing the CCM Appliance Using SNMP

The CCM console management appliance provides a set of commands that create and manage
SNMP structures for use by third party network management products. These commands cover the
following operations:
•

Enabling and disabling SNMP UDP port 161 SNMP processing

•

Defining read, write and trap community names

•

Defining and deleting up to four SNMP management entity IP addresses

•

Enabling and disabling SNMP traps

•

Defining and deleting up to four trap destination IP addresses

•

Defining, copying and deleting up to ten alert strings for each port

By default, SNMP is enabled but no traps are enabled and no trap destinations are defined.

To enable or disable SNMP processing:

1. To enable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Enable parameter. This

is the default setting.
SERVER SNMP ENABLE

2. To disable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Disable parameter.

SERVER SNMP DISABLE

For more information, see Server SNMP command on page 72.

To specify SNMP community names:

Issue a Server SNMP Community command, using the Readcomm, Writecomm and Trapcomm
parameters to specify community names.

NOTE: The default community names are “public”; if you enable SNMP, you are encouraged to change the
community values to prevent access to the MIB.

SERVER SNMP COMMUNITY READCOMM=<name> WRITECOMM=<name>
TRAPCOMM=<name>

Although all three community names default to public, if you specify a trap community name with
this command, it must be different from the read and write community names.
For more information, see Server SNMP Community command on page 73.

To add or delete SNMP management entity addresses:

1. To add an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP Manager command with

the Add parameter and the management entity’s IP address. You may define up to four SNMP
management entity addresses, using separate commands.
SERVER SNMP MANAGER ADD <ip_address>
