Configuring SNMP
Using SNMP Version 1 or 2c
To configure parameters for SNMP Version 1 or 2c, perform the following steps:
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step 1
snmp-server host interface)
hostname | ip_address} [trap |
poll] [community
community-string] [version {1 |
2c username}] [udp-port port]
Example:
hostname(config)# snmp-server
host mgmt 10.7.14.90 version 2
hostname(config)# snmp-server
host corp 172.18.154.159
community public
Specifies the recipient of an SNMP notification, indicates the interface
from which traps are sent, and identifies the name and IP address of the
NMS or SNMP manager that can connect to the ASA. The trap keyword
limits the NMS to receiving traps only. The poll keyword limits the NMS
to sending requests (polling) only. By default, SNMP traps are enabled.
By default, the UDP port is 162. The community string is a shared secret
key between the ASA or ASASM and the NMS. The key is a
case-sensitive value up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are not
permitted. The default community-string is public. The ASA uses this key
to determine whether the incoming SNMP request is valid. For example,
you could designate a site with a community string and then configure the
ASA and the management station with the same string. The ASA and
ASASM uses the specified string and does not respond to requests with an
invalid community string. For more information about SNMP hosts, see
the “SNMP Hosts” section on page 1-16.
Note To receive traps, after you have added the snmp-server host
command, make sure that you configure the user on the NMS with
the same credentials as the credentials configured on the ASA and
ASASM.
Step 2
snmp-server community
community-string
Example:
hostname(config)# snmp-server
community onceuponatime
Sets the community string, which is for use only with SNMP Version 1 or
2c.
Step 3
snmp-server [contact | location]
text
Example:
hostname(config)# snmp-server
location building 42
hostname(config)# snmp-server
contact EmployeeA
Sets the SNMP server location or contact information.
