Using SNMP

Quick Steps for Setting Up An SNMP Management Station

OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide

page 10-3

An SNMP Network Management Station (NMS) is a workstation configured to receive SNMP traps from 
the switch. To set up an SNMP NMS using the switch’s CLI, proceed as follows:

1 Specify the user account name and the authentication type for that user. For example:

-> user NMSuserV3MD5DES md5+des password ********

2 Specify the UDP destination port number (in this case 8010), the IP address of the management station 
(199.199.100.200), a user account name (NMSuserV3MD5DES), and the SNMP version number (v3). For 
example:

-> snmp station 199.199.100.200 8010 NMSuserV3MD5DES v3 enable

Note. Optional. To verify the SNMP Management Station, enter the 

 command. The 

display is similar to the one shown here:

-> show snmp station

ipAddress/udpPort           status    protocol user

---------------------------+---------+--------+-------------------------------

199.199.100.200/8010        enable    v3       NMSuserV3MD5DES

199.199.101.201/111         disable   v2       NMSuserV3MD5

199.199.102.202/8002        enable    v1       NMSuserV3SHADES
