FTOS Configuration Guide for the C-Series - Force10 Networks

configure access to an SNMP community
You enable SNMP when you configure the community string to be used by the SNMP manager and agent.
Without the community string set, you cannot query SNMP data.
To configure the SNMP community string, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
snmp-server community
community-string {ro | rw}
[security-name name [access name]]
To view the SNMP configuration, use the show running-config snmp command (Figure 38) in the EXEC
privilege mode.

SNMP traps can be collected and sent to an SNMP host (manager). Traps are not saved on the system, so to
analyze the information collected in the traps, you should have the traps sent to a device or the SNMP
manager. You can configure up to 16 SNMP hosts.
