Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2, 12.2(2)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP management information is viewed as a collection of managed objects, residing in a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base (MIB). Collections of related objects are defined in MIB modules. These modules are written using a subset of OSI's Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), termed the Structure of Management Information (SMI).

This command is intended for network administrators who are familiar with the SMI and ASN.1 syntax.

While this command can be used to display a list of MIB object identifiers (OIDs) registered on the system, the use of a network management system (NMS) application is the recommended alternative for gathering this information.

The show snmp mib command will display the instance identifiers for all the MIB objects on the system. The instance identifier is the final part of the OID. An object can have one or more instance identifiers. Before displaying the instance identifier, the system attempts to find the best match with the list of table names. The MIB module table names are registered when the system initializes.

The definitions for the OIDs displayed by this command can be found in the relevant RFCs and MIB modules. For example, RFC 1907 defines the system.x, sysOREntry.x, snmp.x, and snmpTrap.x OIDs, and this information is supplemented by the extensions defined in the CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB.


Tip This command produces a high volume of output if SNMP is enabled on your system. To exit from a --More-- prompt, press Ctrl-Z.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(22)S

This command was introduced.

12.2(13)T

This command was integrated into Release 12.2 T.


Usage Guidelines

The SNMP Notification Log works in conjunction with the NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB.my MIB module (available at ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/). This MIB module is based on RFC 3014. The local logs can be polled by external network management applications to verify that they have not missed important SNMP notifications (traps and informs).

The show snmp mib notification-log all command displays all logged notification entries currently in the local MIB database. Entries are displayed from the oldest to the newest. The time of entry creation is determined using the system-up-time (sysUpTime) value; this means that the age of the entry is set using the amount of time that has passed since the router was last restarted. Other information for the entries includes the notificationID, and the filters (varbinds) associated with the log, if any.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show snmp mib notification-log command:

Router# show snmp mib notification-log 

GlobalAgeout 15, GlobalEntryLimit 500
Total Notifications logged in all logs 0
Log Name"", Log entry Limit 500, Notifications logged 0
Logging status enabled
Created by cli

Note that in this example, the Log Name of " " indicates the default "null-named" Notification Log.

Modification

12.2(2)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The ifAlias object (ifXEntry 18) of the Interfaces MIB (IF-MIB) is called the Interface Alias. The Interface Alias (ifAlias) is a user-specified description of an interface used for SNMP network management. The ifAlias is an object in the Interfaces Group MIB (IF-MIB) which can be set by a network manager to "name" an interface.

The ifAlias value for an interface or subinterface can be set using the description command in interface configuration mode or subinterface configuration mode, or by using a Set operation from an NMS. Prior to the introduction of this command, ifAlias descriptions for subinterfaces were limited to 64 characters. (The OLD-CISCO-INTERFACES-MIB allows up to 255 characters for the locIfDescr MIB variable, but this MIB does not support subinterfaces.) IfAlias descriptions appear in the output of the show interfaces EXEC mode command, and in the output of the more system: running-config or show running-config EXEC mode commands.

Examples

In the following example, the system is configured to retain and return ifAlias values of up to 255 characters in length:

Router(config)# snmp ifmib ifalias long

12.2(13)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.


Usage Guidelines

This command creates a default unnamed SNMP notification log. The default log has a zero length string as its name (appears in the output of the show snmp mib notification-log command as Log Name"").

Creation and removal of the default log can only be performed using the CLI. Creation of named logs using the CLI or SNMP tools (SET operations) is not currently supported. No filters (varbinds) can be associated with the default log.

SNMP Notification logging is enabled by default, but logging does not start until a specific log is created and defined using this command, or a named log is created using an SNMP Set operation from a network management station (NMS).

The no form of this command deletes the default notification log and removes the notifications that were a part of this log from the Notification Log MIB database (recursively deletes the log and all of its entries).

Examples

In the following example, the default SNMP notification log is created and activated, and the log size is set at 600 entries:

Router(config)# snmp mib notification-log default size 600

Modification

12.2(2)T

This command was introduced.

12.2(4)T3

Support for event and expression MIBs was added.


Usage Guidelines

After entering the snmp mib persist command, you must enter the write mib-data command to save MIB Persistence configuration data to NVRAM.

The Circuit Interface MIB provides a MIB object (cciDescr) that can be used to identify individual circuit-based interfaces for SNMP monitoring. Circuit interface identification persistence maintains the user-defined name of the circuit across reboots by retaining the value of the cciDescr object in the Circuit Interface MIB (CISCO-CIRCUIT-INTERFACE-MIB). A consistent value for specific circuits is useful for network management applications that use SNMP. Circuit interface identification persistence is enabled using the snmp mib persist circuit global configuration command. This command is disabled by default because this feature uses NVRAM memory.

To enable both MIB Persistence for all available MIB types, use the snmp mib persist command without keywords.

Examples

The following example enables Event MIB Persistence:

Router(config)# snmp mib persist event

Router# write mib-data

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types. To specify whether the notifications should be sent as traps or informs, use the snmp-server host [traps | informs] command.

If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps command, no notifications controlled by this command are sent. In order to configure the router to send these SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all notification types are enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the notification type related to that keyword is enabled. In order to enable multiple types of notifications, you must issue a separate snmp-server enable traps command for each notification type and notification option.

The snmp-server enable traps command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send all traps to the host specified by the name myhost.cisco.com, using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps frame-relay 
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon temperature 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public 

The following example will not send traps to any host. The BGP traps are enabled for all hosts, but the only traps enabled to be sent to a host are ISDN traps (which are not enabled in this example).

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps bgp 
Router(config)# snmp-server host bob public isdn 

The following example enables the router to send all inform requests to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com, using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public 

The following example sends HSRP MIB traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string public.

12.1(3)T

This command was introduced for the Cisco AS5300 and Cisco AS5800.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

This command controls (enables or disables) AAA Server state change (casServerStateChange) notifications. ServerStateChange notifications, when enabled, will be sent when the server moves from an "up" to "dead" state or when a server moves from a "dead" to "up" state.

The Cisco AAA Server State is defined by the casState object in the Cisco AAA Server MIB. The possible values are as follows:

up(1)—Server is responding to requests.

dead(2)—Server failed to respond to requests.

A server is marked "dead" if it does not respond after maximum retransmissions. A server is marked "up" again either after a waiting period or if some response is received from it. The initial value of casState is "up(1)" at system startup. This will only transition to "dead(2)" if an attempt to communicate fails.

For a complete description of this notification and additional MIB functions, see the CISCO-AAA-SERVER-MIB.my file, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.

The snmp-server enable traps aaa_sever command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

Modification

12.0(1)T

This command was introduced for those platforms that support ATM PVC Management.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types. ATM notifications are defined in the CISCO-IETF-ATM2-PVCTRAP-MIB.my file, available from the Cisco FTP site at ftp://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.

ATM PVC failure notification are sent when a PVC on an ATM interface fails or leaves the UP operational state. Only one trap is generated per hardware interface, within the specified interval defined by the interval keyword (stored as the atmIntfPvcNotificationInterval in the MIB). If other PVCs on the same interface go DOWN during this interval, traps are generated and held until the fail-interval has elapsed. Once the interval has elapsed, the traps are sent if the PVCs are still DOWN.

No notifications are generated when a PVC returns to the UP state after having been in the DOWN state. If you need to detect the recovery of PVCs, you must use the SNMP management application to regularly poll your router.

The snmp-server enable traps atm pvc command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example shows the enabling of ATM PVC traps on a router, so that if PVC 0/1 goes down, host 172.16.61.90 will receive the notifications:

!For ATM PVC Trap Support to work on your router, you must first have SNMP support and

snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension

To enable the sending of extended ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) SNMP notifications and SNMP notifications for ATM Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) F5 continuity check (CC), ATM OAM F5 alarm indication signals/remote defect indications (AIS/RDI), and loopback failures, use the snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension command in global configuration mode. To disable these SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension {up | down | oam failure [aisrdi | endCC | loopback | segmentCC]}

no snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension{up | down | oam failure [aisrdi | endCC | loopback | segmentCC]}

Syntax Description

up

Enables ATM PVC up traps. These notifications are generated when a PVC changes from the DOWN to the UP state.

down

Enables ATM PVC failure traps. These notifications are generated when a PVC changes from the UP to the DOWN state.

oam failure

Enables ATM PVC OAM failure traps. These notifications are generated when any type of OAM failure occurs on the PVC.

aisrdi

(Optional) Enables AIS/RDI OAM failure traps. These notifications are generated when AIS/RDI OAM failure occurs on the PVC.

endCC

(Optional) Enables end-to-end OAM CC failure traps. These notifications are generated when end-to-end CC failures occur on the PVC.

loopback

(Optional) Enables OAM failure loopback traps. These notifications are generated when OAM loopback failure occurs on the PVC.

segmentCC

(Optional) Enables segment OAM CC failure traps. These notifications are generated when segment CC failures occur on the PVC.


Defaults

SNMP notifications are disabled.
The interval between successive traps is 30 seconds.

Modification

12.2(4)T

This command was introduced for those platforms that support ATM PVC management.

12.2(13)T

This command was modified to configure SNMP notification support for ATM OAM F5 CC and ATM OAM F5 AIS/RDI failures.


Usage Guidelines

For PVCs that are not part of a range, extended ATM PVC traps include virtual path identifier/virtual channel indentifier (VPI/ VCI) information, the number of state transitions a PVC goes through in an interval, and the timestamp for the start and end of the transitions. For PVCs that are part of a range, extended ATM PVC traps include the first and last VPI/VCI of the range and the timestamp for the first failure and the last failure within the same range.

Extended ATM PVC and ATM OAM F5 CC traps cannot be used at the same time as the legacy ATM PVC trap. The legacy ATM PVC trap must be disabled by using the no snmp-server enable traps atm pvc command before extended ATM PVC traps can be configured.

The extended ATM PVC failure trap (which is is enabled by the snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension down command) is the same trap as the legacy ATM PVC failure trap (which is enabled by the snmp-server enable traps atm pvc command), but with the the following differences:

The extended ATM PVC failure trap contains information in the form of VPI/VCI ranges.

The extended ATM PVC failure trap contains timestamps for when PVCs go down.

The legacy ATM PVC failure trap contains only one VPI/VCI per trap.


Note You must configure the snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension mibversion 2 command before you can enable the ATM OAM F5 AIS/RDI failure traps, the end-to-end ATM OAM F5 CC failure traps, the OAM failure loopback traps, and the segment ATM OAM F5 CC failure traps. This command enables the MIB that supports these traps.


OAM management must be enabled on the PVC before you can use ATM PVC traps. To generate F5 loopback failure traps, enable OAM management using the oam-pvc manage command. To generate segment F5 CC failure traps, enable segment OAM CC management by using the oam-pvc manage cc segment command. To generate end-to-end F5 CC failure traps, enable end-to-end OAM CC management by using the oam-pvc manage cc end command. To generate OAM F5 AIS/RDI failure traps, enable any of the three types of OAM management listed above.

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types.

The extended ATM PVC notifications for MIB version 1 are defined in the CISCO-IETF-ATM2-PVCTRAP-MIB.my file.The extended ATM PVC notifications for MIB version 2 are defined in the CISCO-ATM-PVCTRAP-EXTN-MIB.my file. Both of these MIB files are available from the Cisco FTP site at ftp://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.

ATM PVC traps are generated at the end of the notification interval. It is possible to generate all three types of ATM PVC traps (the ATM PVC failure trap, ATM PVC up trap, and ATM PVC OAM failure trap) at the end of the same notification interval; however, only one type of trap will be generated for each PVC.

The snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

When the ATM OAM F5 loopback, AIS/RDI, or CC failure trap is enabled, the PVC remains in the UP state when an OAM loopback, AIS/RDI, or CC failure is detected, so that the flow of data will still be possible. If one of these traps is not enabled, the PVC will be placed in the DOWN state when an OAM loopback, AIS/RDI, or CC failure is detected.

Examples

Extended ATM PVC Notifications Example

The following example shows all three of the extended ATM PVC traps enabled on a router. If PVC 0/1 leaves the UP state, leaves the DOWN state, or has an OAM loopback failure, host 172.16.61.90 will receive the SNMP notifications:

! Configure SNMP support and an IP routing protocol on your router:
Router(config)# snmp-server community public ro
Router(config)# snmp-server host 172.16.61.90 public 
Router(config)# ip routing
Router(config)# router igrp 109
Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0
!
! Enable extended ATM PVC trap support and OAM management:
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension down
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension up
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps atm pvc extension oam failure loopback
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0.1 
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/1
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage

Extended ATM PVC Failure Trap Output: Example

The following example shows output for extended ATM PVC failure trap for PVCs 1/100, 1/102, and 1/103. Note that only one trap is generated for all the PVCs associated with the same interface or subinterface (in contrast to the legacy ATM PVC failure trap, which generates a separate trap for each PVC). The VPI/VCI information and timing information are located in the objects associated with the trap.

Modification

12.2(13)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types.

ATM subinterface traps are sent to the network management system (NMS) whenever a subinterface enters or leaves the down state.

The count and interval parameters can be configured to limit the number of traps sent and the frequency at which they are sent in order to prevent trap storms. Configuring an interval of 0 seconds causes all ATM subinterface traps to be sent.

You can disable ATM subinterface traps by using the no snmp-server enable traps atm subif command. When traps are disabled, you can use the SNMP management application to poll your router for subinterface status information.

The snmp-server enable traps atm subif command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

The snmp-server trap link ietf command must be configured in order to use the snmp-server enable traps atm subif command. The snmp-server trap link ietf command is used to configure your router to use the RFC 2233 IETF standards-based implementation of linkUp/linkDown traps. The default Cisco object definitions do not generate linkUp/linkDown traps correctly for subinterfaces.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable ATM subinterface traps on a router. If an ATM subinterface on this router changes state, host 172.16.61.90 will receive the notifications:

!For ATM subinterface trap to work on your router, you must first have SNMP support and 
!an IP routing protocol configured on your router:
Router(config)# snmp-server community public ro 
Router(config)# snmp-server host 172.16.61.90 public 
Router(config)# snmp-server trap link ietf
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp
Router(config)# ip routing 
Router(config)# router igrp 109

This command was introduced for the Cisco AS5300 and Cisco AS5800.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

This command controls (enables or disables) Border Gateway Protocol server state change notifications, as defined in the BGP4-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.7). The notifications types are:

(1) bgpEstablished

(2) bgpBackwardTransition.

The BGP notifications are defined in the BGP-4 MIB as follows:

                bgpTraps                OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { bgp 7 }

                bgpEstablished NOTIFICATION-TYPE
                    OBJECTS { bgpPeerLastError,
                              bgpPeerState      }
                    STATUS  current
                    DESCRIPTION
                            "The BGP Established event is generated when
                            the BGP FSM enters the ESTABLISHED state."
                    ::= { bgpTraps 1 }

                bgpBackwardTransition NOTIFICATION-TYPE
                    OBJECTS { bgpPeerLastError,
                              bgpPeerState      }
                    STATUS  current
                    DESCRIPTION
                            "The BGPBackwardTransition Event is generated
                            when the BGP FSM moves from a higher numbered
                            state to a lower numbered state."
                    ::= { bgpTraps 2 }

For a complete description of these notifications and additional MIB functions, see the BGP4-MIB.my file, available through the Cisco FTP site at ftp://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.


Note You may notice incorrect BGP trap OID output when using the SNMP version 1 BGP4-MIB that is available for download at ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v1/BGP4-MIB-V1SMI.my. When a router sends out BGP traps (notifications) about state changes on an SNMP version 1 monitored BGP peer, the enterprise OID is incorrectly displayed as .1.3.6.1.2.1.15 (bgp) instead of .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.7 (bgpTraps). The problem is not due to any error with Cisco IOS software. This problem occurs because the BGP4-MIB does not follow RFC 1908 rules regarding version 1 and version 2 trap compliance. This MIB is controlled by IANA under the guidance of the IETF, and work is currently in progress by the IETF to replace this MIB with a new version that represents the current state of the BGP protocol. In the meantime, we recommend that you use the SNMP version 2 BGP4-MIB or the CISCO-BGP4-MIB to avoid an incorrect trap OID.


The snmp-server enable traps bgp command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send BGP state change informs to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps bgp
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public

11.3(6)AA

Support for this command was introduced for the Cisco AS5300 access server.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

This command controls (enables or disables) Environmental Monitor (EnvMon) status notifications for supported systems. Cisco enterprise EnvMon notifications are triggered when an environmental threshold is exceeded. If none of the optional keywords are specified, all available environmental notifications are enabled.

For a complete description of these notifications and additional MIB functions, see the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.my and CISCO-ACCESS-ENVMON-MIB.my files, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.

Status of the Environmental Monitor can be viewed using the show environment command.

The snmp-server enable traps envmon command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example enables a Cisco 12000 GSR to send environmental failure informs to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public envmon

12.2(13)T

This command was modified to enable Frame Relay subinterface traps in addition to DLCI traps.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

This command controls (enables or disables) Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) Frame Relay notifications, as defined in the RFC1315-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32).

This trap indicates that the indicated Virtual Circuit (VC) or subinterface has changed state, meaning that the VC or subinterface has either been created or invalidated, or has toggled between the active and inactive states.

To enable only Frame Relay subinterface traps, use the snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command.


Note For large scale configurations (systems containing hundreds of Frame Relay point-to-point subinterfaces), note that having Frame Relay notifications enabled could potentially have a negative impact on network performance when there are line status changes.


For a complete description of this notification and additional MIB functions, see the RFC1315-MIB.my file and the CISCO-FRAME-RELAY-MIB.my file, available in the "v1" and "v2" directories, repectively, at the Cisco.com MIB web site at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

The snmp-server enable traps frame-relay command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

In the following examplethe router is configured to send Frame Relay DLCI and subinterface state change informs to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps frame-relay
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public

snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif

To enable Frame Relay subinterface Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command in global configuration mode. To disable Frame Relay subinterface SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif [interval seconds [count number-of-traps] | [count number-of-traps]

no snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif [interval seconds [count number-of-traps] | [count number-of-traps]

Syntax Description

interval seconds

(Optional) Minimum period between successive traps, in the range from 0 to 3600.

count number-of-traps

(Optional) Maximum number of traps that will be sent in the specified interval, in the range from 1 to 1000.


Defaults

Frame Relay subinterface SNMP notifications are disabled by default.
Interval: 10 seconds
Count: 10 traps

Modification

12.2(13)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

Frame Relay subinterface traps are sent to the the network management system (NMS) whenever a subinterface enters or leaves the down state.

The count and interval parameters can be configured to limit the number of traps sent and the frequency at which they are sent in order to prevent trap storms. Configuring an interval of 0 seconds causes all Frame Relay subinterface traps to be sent.


Note The snmp-server enable traps frame-relay command enables both Frame Relay DLCI and subinterface traps. The snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command enables only Frame Relay subinterface traps.


You can disable Frame Relay subinterface traps by using the no snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command. When traps are disabled, you can use the SNMP management application to poll your router for subinterface status information.

The snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

The snmp-server trap link ietf command must be configured in order to use the snmp-server enable traps frame-relay subif command. The snmp-server trap link ietf command is used to configure your router to use the RFC 2233 IETF standards-based implementation of linkUp/linkDown traps. The default Cisco object definitions do not generate linkUp/linkDown traps correctly for subinterfaces.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable Frame Relay subinterface traps on a router. If a Frame Relay subinterface on this router changes state, host 172.16.61.90 will receive the notifications:

! For Frame Relay subinterface traps to work on your router, you must first have SNMP 
! support and an IP routing protocol configured on your router:
Router(config)# snmp-server community public ro 
Router(config)# snmp-server host 172.16.61.90 public 
Router(config)# snmp-server trap link ietf
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp
Router(config)# ip routing 
Router(config)# router igrp 109 
Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0

snmp-server enable traps isdn

To enable the sending of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) specific Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps isdn command in global configuration mode. To disable ISDN-specific SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps isdn [call-information] [chan-not-avail] [isdnu-interface] [layer2]

no snmp-server enable traps isdn [call-information] [chan-not-avail] [isdnu-interface] [layer2]

Syntax Description

call-information

(Optional) Controls SNMP ISDN call information notifications, as defined in the CISCO-ISDN-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.26.2). Notification types are:

demandNbrCallInformation (1)
This notification is sent to the manager whenever a successful call clears, or a failed call attempt is determined to have ultimately failed. In the event that call retry is active, then this is after all retry attempts have failed. However, only one such notification is sent in between successful call attempts; subsequent call attempts do not generate notifications of this type.

demandNbrCallDetails (2)
This notification is sent to the manager whenever a call connects, or clears, or a failed call attempt is determined to have ultimately failed. In the event that call retry is active, then this is after all retry attempts have failed. However, only one such notification is sent in between successful call attempts; subsequent call attempts do not generate notifications of this type.

chan-not-avail

(Optional) Controls SNMP ISDN channel-not-available notifications. ISDN PRI channel-not-available traps are generated when a requested DS-0 channel is not available, or when there is no modem available to take the incoming call. These notifications are available only for ISDN PRI interfaces.

isdnu-interface

(Optional) Controls SNMP ISDN U interface notifications.

layer2

(Optional) Controls SNMP ISDN layer2 transition notifications.

Support for the call-information and isdnu-interface keywords was introduced for most voice platforms.

12.1(5)T

Support for the isdn chan-not-available option was added for the Cisco AS5300, Cisco AS5400, and Cisco AS5800 access servers only.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types. ISDN notifications are defined in the CISCO-ISDN-MIB.my and CISCO-ISDNU-IF-MIB.my files, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.

Availability of notifications will depend on your platform. To see what notifications are available, use the snmp-server enable traps isdn ? command.

If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps isdn command, no notifications controlled by this command are sent. In order to configure the router to send these SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps isdn command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all notification types are enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the notification type related to that keyword is enabled.

The snmp-server enable traps snmp command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example shows the checking of what notification types are available on a Cisco AS5300, and the enabling of channel-not-available and layer2 informs:

NAS(config)#snmp-server enable traps isdn ?
  call-information  Enable SNMP isdn call information traps
  chan-not-avail    Enable SNMP isdn channel not avail traps
  layer2            Enable SNMP isdn layer2 transition traps

snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp

To enable the sending of MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) SNMP notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp command in global configuration mode. To disable the sending of MPLS LDP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp [session-up | session-down | pv-limit | threshold]

no snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp [session-up | session-down | pv-limit | threshold]

Syntax Description

session-up

(Optional) Controls (enables or disables) LDP session up notifications, defined in the MPLS-LDP-MIB as mplsLdpSessionUp. This notification is generated when the router establishes an LDP session with another LDP entity (an adjacent LDP peer in the network).

session-down

(Optional) Controls (enables or disables) LDP session down notifications, defined in the MPLS-LDP-MIB as mplsLdpSessionDown. This message is generated when an LDP session between the router and its adjacent LDP peer is terminated.

pv-limit

(Optional) Controls (enables or disables) Path-Vector (PV) Limit notifications, defined in the MPLS-LDP-MIB as mplsLdpPVLMismatch. This notification is generated when the router establishes an LDP session with its adjacent peer LSR, but the two LSRs have dissimilar path vector limits.

threshold

(Optional) Controls (enables or disables) PV Limit notifications, defined in the MPLS-LDP-MIB as mplsLdpInitSesThresholdExceeded. This notification is generated after eight failed attempts to establish an LDP session between the router and an LDP peer, due to any type of incompatibility between the devices.


Defaults

The sending of SNMP notifications is disabled by default.

If you do not specify any of the optional keywords, all four types of LDP notifications are enabled on the LSR.

12.0(21)ST

This command was introduced.

12.2(13)T

This command was implemented in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.


Usage Guidelines

The MPLS LDP pv-limit (mplsLdpPathVectorLimitMismatch) notification object provides a warning message that can be sent to the NMS when two routers engaged in LDP operations have a dissimilar path vector limit. It is recommended that all LDP-enabled routers in the network be configured with the same path vector limit.

The value of the path vector limit can range from 0 through 255; a value of 0 indicates that loop detection is off; any value other than zero up to 255 indicates that loop detection is on and, in addition, specifies the maximum number of hops through which an LDP message can pass before a loop condition in the network is sensed.

The MPLS LDP threshold (mplsLdpFailedInitSessionThresholdExceeded) notification object provides a warning message that can be sent to a network management station (NMS) when a local LSR and an adjacent LDP peer attempt to set up an LDP session between them, but fail to do so after a specified number of attempts. The default number of attempts is 8. This default value is implemented in Cisco IOS and cannot be changed using either the CLI or an SNMP agent.

In general, Cisco routers support the same features across multiple platforms. Therefore, the most likely incompatibility to occur between Cisco LSRs is a mismatch of their respective ATM VPI/VCI label ranges.

For example, if you specify a range of valid labels for an LSR that does not overlap the range of its adjacent LDP peer, the routers will try eight times to create an LDP session between themselves before the mplsLdpFailedInitSessionThresholdExceeded notification is generated.

Operationally, the LSRs whose label ranges do not overlap continue their attempt to create an LDP session between themselves after the eight retry threshold is exceeded. In such cases, the LDP threshold exceeded notification alerts the network administrator to the existence of a condition in the network that may warrant attention.

RFC 3036, LDP Specification, details the incompatibilities that can exist between Cisco routers and/or other vendor LSRs in an MPLS network. Among such incompatibilities, for example, are the following:

Non-overlapping ATM VPI/VCI ranges (as noted above) or non-overlapping Frame-Relay DLCI ranges between LSRs attempting to set up an LDP session

Unsupported label distribution method

Dissimilar protocol data unit (PDU) size

Dissimilar LDP feature support

The snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

In the following example, LDP-specific informs are enabled and will be sent to the host "myhost.cisco.com" using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps mpls ldp
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public mpls-ldp

snmp-server enable traps mpls traffic-eng

To enable MPLS traffic engineering tunnel state-change SNMP notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps mpls traffic-eng command in global configuration mode. To disable MPLS traffic engineering tunnel state-change SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps mpls traffic-eng [up | down | reroute]

no snmp-server enable traps mpls traffic-eng [up | down | reroute]

Syntax Description

up

(Optional) Enables only mplsTunnelUp notifications { mplsTeNotifyPrefix 1 }. MplsTunnelUp notifications are sent to a network management system (NMS) when an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel is configured and the tunnel transitions from an operationally "down" state to an "up" state.

down

(Optional) Enables only mplsTunnelDown notifications { mplsTeNotifyPrefix 2 }. MplsTunnelDown notifications are generated and sent to the NMS when an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel transitions from an operationally "up" state to a "down" state.

reroute

(Optional) Controls (enables or disables) only mplsTunnelRerouted notifications { mplsTeNotifyPrefix 3 }. MplsTunnelRerouted notifications are sent to the NMS under the following conditions:

1) The signaling path of an existing MPLS traffic engineering tunnel fails for some reason and a new path option is signaled and placed into effect (that is, the tunnel is rerouted).

or

2) The signaling path of an existing MPLS traffic engineering tunnel is fully operational, but a better path option can be signaled and placed into effect (that is, the tunnel can be reoptimized). This reoptimization can be triggered by: a) a timer, b) the issuance of an mpls traffic-eng reoptimize command, or c) a configuration change that requires the resignaling of a tunnel.


Defaults

SNMP notifications are disabled by default.

If this command is used without keywords, all available trap types (up, down, reroute) are enabled.

snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn

To enable the router to send MPLS VPN specific SNMP notifications (traps and informs), use the snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn command in global configuration mode. To disable MPLS VPN specific SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn [vrf-up] [vrf-down] [mid-threshold] [max-threshold] [illegal-label]

no snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn [vrf-up] [vrf-down] [mid-threshold] [max-threshold] [illegal-label]

Syntax Description

vrf-up

(Optional) Enables a notification for the assignment of a VRF to an interface that is operational or for the transition of a VRF interface to the operationally up state.

vrf-down

(Optional) Enables a notification for the removal of a VRF from an interface or the transition of an interface to the down state.

mid-threshold

(Optional) Enables a notification of a warning that the number of routes created has crossed the warning threshold. This warning is sent only at the time the warning threshold is exceeded. The warning threshold value is a percentage of the max-threshold value, and is set using the maximum routes limit warn-threshold VRF configuration mode command.

max-threshold

(Optional) Enables a notification that the maximum route limit (maximum route threshold) has been reached. Another notification is sent when the number of routes falls below the maximum route limit value. The max-threshold value is determined by the maximum routes VRF configuration mode command.

illegal-label

(Optional) Enables a notification for any illegal labels received on a VRF interface. Labels are illegal if they are outside the legal range, do not have a Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB) entry, or do not match table IDs for the label.

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.


Usage Guidelines

If this command is used without any of the optional keywords, all MPLS VPN notification types are enabled.

For the vrf-up (mplsVrfIfUp) or vrf-down (mplsVrfIfDown) notifications to be issued from an ATM or Frame Relay subinterface, you must first configure the snmp-server traps atm subif command or the snmp-server traps frame-relay subif command on the subinterfaces, respectively.

The values for mid-threshold and max-threshold are set using the maximum routes limit {warn-threshold | warning-only} VRF configuration mode command.

The maximum routes command gives you two options:

maximum routes limit warning-only—generate a warning message when the <limit> is exceeded, or

maximum routes limit warn-threshold—generate a warning message when the <warn-threshold> is reached.

If you choose "maximum routes <limit> warning-only" form of the command, a warning message is generated when the <limit> is exceeded, and the <limit> you specify will _not_ be enforced.

If you choose "maximum routes <limit> <warn-threshold>" for of the command, a warning message will be generated when the <warn-threshold> is reached, and the <limit> _will_ be enforced.

If you use the "maximum routes <limit> warning-only" command with the "snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn" command,

a "mid-threshold" SNMP notification will be generated when the is <limit> value is reached or exceeded.

No "max-threshold" SNMP notification will be generated.

If you used the "maximum routes <limit> <warn-threshold>" command with the "snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn" command, a "mid-threshold" SNMP notification will be generated when the <warn-threshold> value is reached, and a "max-threshold" notification will be generated when the <limit> value is reached.

The notification types described above are defined in the following MIB objects of the PPVPN-MPLS-VPN-MIB as follows:

mplsVrfIfUp

mplsVrfIfDown

mplsNumVrfRouteMidThreshExceeded

mplsNumVrfRouteMaxThreshExceeded

mplsNumVrfSecIllegalLabelThreshExceeded

Examples

In the following example, MPLS VPN trap notifications are sent to the host specified as 172.31.156.34 using the community string named "public" if a VRF transitions from a down state to an up state or from an up state to a down state:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps mpls vpn vrf-up vrf-down

There are two sets of notifications available for this command. The following notification is defined in the CISCO-REPEATER-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.22.3):

1 ciscoRptrIllegalSrcAddrTrap (illegal source address trap )

The following notifications are defined in the CISCO-REPEATER-MIB-V1SMI (enterprise 1.3.6.1.2.1.22):

1 rptrHealth

2 rptrGroupChange

3 rptrResetEvent

For a complete description of the repeater notifications and additional MIB functions, refer to the CISCO-REPEATER-MIB.my and CISCO-REPEATER-MIB-V1SMI.my files, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/.

The snmp-server enable traps repeater command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send repeater inform notifications to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps repeater
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public

rttMonTimeoutNotification—A rttMonTimeoutNotification indicates the occurrence of a timeout for a SAA operation.

rttMonThresholdNotification—A rttMonThresholdNotification indicates the occurrence of a threshold violation for a SAA operation.

rttMonVerifyErrorNotification—A rttMonVerifyErrorNotification indicates the occurrence of data corruption in an SAA operation

For a complete description of these notification types, and for information about the other MIB functions, see the CISCO-RTTMON-MIB.my file, available through the Cisco TAC SNMP Object Navigator tool at http://www.cisco.com/go/mibs . For further information about the SAA, see the Network Monitoring Using the Cisco Service Assurance Agent Release 12.2 document at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/ffun_c/fcfprt3/fcf017.htm .

The snmp-server enable traps syslog command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

snmp-server enable traps snmp

To enable the sending of RFC 1157 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps snmp command in global configuration mode. To disable RFC 1157 SNMP notifications, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server enable traps snmp [authentication] [linkup] [linkdown] [coldstart] [warmstart]

no snmp-server enable traps snmp [authentication] [linkup] [linkdown] [coldstart] [warmstart]

Syntax Description

authentication

(Optional) Controls the sending of SNMP authentication failure notifications. An authenticationFailure(4) trap signifies that the sending device is the addressee of a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. The authentication method depends on the version of SNMP being used. For SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, authentication failure occurs for packets with an incorrect community string . For SNMPv3, authentication failure occurs for packets with an incorrect SHA/MD5 authentication key or for a packet that is outside of the authoritative SNMP engine's window (for example, falls outside of configured access lists or time ranges).

linkup

(Optional) Controls the sending of SNMP linkUp notifications. A linkUp(3) trap signifies that the sending device recognizes that one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration has come up.

linkdown

(Optional) Controls the sending of SNMP linkDown notifications. A linkDown(2) trap signifies that the sending device recognizes a failure in one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration.

coldstart

(Optional) Controls the sending of SNMP coldStart notifications. A coldStart(0) trap signifies that the sending device is reinitializing itself such that the agent's configuration or the protocol entity implementation may be altered.

warmstart

(Optional) Controls the sending of SNMP warmStart notifications. A warmStart(1) trap signifies that the sending device is reinitializing itself such that neither the agent configuration nor the protocol entity implementation is altered.


Defaults

SNMP notifications are disabled by default.

If you enter this command with none of the optional keywords, all RFC 1157 SNMP notifications are enabled (or disabled, if using the no form).

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests for the specified notification types.

If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps snmp command, no notifications controlled by this command are sent. In order to configure the router to send these SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps snmp command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all notification types are enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the notification type related to that keyword is enabled.

The snmp-server enable traps snmp command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

For a host to receive a notification controlled by this command, both the snmp-server enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled. If the notification type is not controlled by this command, just the appropriate snmp-server host command must be enabled.

The snmp-server enable traps snmp [ linkup] [linkdown] form of this command globally enables or disables SNMP linkUp and linkDown traps. After enabling either of these traps globally, you can disable these traps on specific interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command in interface configuration mode. Note that on the interface level, linkUp and linkDown traps are enabled by default. This means that you do not have to enable these notifications on a per-interface basis. However, linkUp and linkDown notifications will not be sent unless you enable them globally using the snmp-server enable traps snmp command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com, using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public snmp

The following example enables the router to send all inform notifications to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public snmp

12.2(13)T

This command was introduced to support DPT-OC12 Port Adapters.


Usage Guidelines

The Cisco SRP MIB module (CISCO-SRP-MIB.my) provides objects for monitoring IP-over-SONET Intelligent Protection Switching (IPS) Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) traffic using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). When IPS is enabled, if a node or fiber facility failure is detected, traffic going toward or coming from the failure direction is wrapped (looped) back to go in opposite direction on the other ring.

The snmp-server enable traps srp command enables SRP state change notifications (traps or informs). SRP state change notifications are generated whenever one of the two sides of an SRP interface ring enters or leaves the wrapped state (when a ring wraps, or when a ring is restored).

Specifically, the "srpMACIpsWrapCounter" object in the CISCO-SRP-MIB increments when a Ring wraps, and the value of the "rpMACIpsLastUnWrapTimeStamp" object changes when a ring unwraps. (An "unwrap" event happens when the original ring is restored.)

The snmp-server enable traps srp command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

In the following example, SRP-specific informs are enabled and will be sent to the host "myhost.cisco.com" using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps srp 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public srp 

snmp-server enable traps syslog

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

SNMP notifications are disabled by default.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

11.3

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. This command enables both traps and inform requests.

This command controls (enables or disables) system logging message notifications. System logging messages (also called system error messages, or syslog messages) are status notification messages that are generated by the routing device during operation. These messages are typically logged to a destination (such as the terminal screen, to a system buffer, or to a remote "syslog" host).

If your software image supports the Cisco Syslog MIB, these messages can also be sent via SNMP to a network managment station (NMS). To detemine which software images support the Cisco Syslog MIB, used the Cisco MIB Locator tool at http://www.cisco.com/go/mibs/ .(At the time of writing, the Cisco Syslog MIB is only supported in "Enterprise" images.)

Unlike other logging processes on the system, debug messages (enabled using CLI debug commands) are not included with the logging messages sent via SNMP.

To specify the severity level at which notifications should be generated, use the logging history global configuration command. For additional information about the system logging process and severity levels, see the description of the logging commands.

The syslog notification is defined by the clogMessageGenerated NOTIFICATION-TYPE object in the Cisco Syslog MIB (CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB.my). When a syslog message is generated by the device a clogMessageGenerated notification is sent to the designated NMS. The clogMessageGenerated notification includes the following objects: clogHistFacility, clogHistSeverity, clogHistMsgName, clogHistMsgText, clogHistTimestamp.

For a complete description of these objects and addtional MIB information, see the text of CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB.my, available on Cisco.com using the SNMP Object Navigator tool at http://www.cisco.com/go/mibs . See also the CISCO-SYSLOG-EXT-MIB and the CISCO-SYSLOG-EVENT-EXT-MIB.

The snmp-server enable traps syslog command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send system logging messages at severity levels 0 (emergencies) through 2 (critical) to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps syslog 
Router(config)# logging history 2

Defaults

An SNMP engine ID is generated automatically.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(3)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The SNMP engine ID is a unique string used to identify the device for administration purposes. You do not need to specify an engine ID for the device; a default string is generated using Cisco's enterprise number (1.3.6.1.4.1.9) and the mac address of the first interface on the device. For further details on the SNMP engine ID, see RFC 2571.

If you wish to specify your own ID, note that you need not specify the entire 24-character engine ID if it contains trailing zeros. Specify only the portion of the Engine ID up until the point where only zeros remain in the value. For example, to configure an engine ID of 123400000000000000000000, you can specify snmp-server engineID local 1234.

Changing the value of snmpEngineID has important side-effects. A user's password (entered on the command line) is converted to an MD5 or SHA security digest. This digest is based on both the password and the local engine ID. The command line password is then destroyed, as required by RFC 2274. Because of this deletion, if the local value of engineID changes, the security digests of SNMPv3 users will be invalid, and the users will have to be reconfigured.

Similar restrictions require the reconfiguration of community strings when the engine ID changes. A remote engine ID is required when an SNMPv3 inform is configured. The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host.

For example, to configure an engine ID of 123400000000000000000000, you can specify the value 1234 as the engineid-string.

A remote engine ID is required when an SNMP version 3 inform is configured. The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host.

Examples

The following example specifies the SNMP engine ID and configures the VRF name "traps-vrf" for SNMP communications with the remote device at 172.16.20.3:

Syntax Description

groupname

The name of the group.

v1

The least secure of the possible security models.

v2c

The second least secure of the possible security models. It allows for the transmission of informs and counter 64, which allows for integers twice the width of what is normally allowed.

v3

The most secure of the possible security models.

auth

Specifies authentication of a packet without encrypting it.

noauth

Specifies no authentication of a packet.

priv

Specifies authentication of a packet with encryption.

read

(Optional) The option that allows you to specify a read view.

readview

A string (not to exceed 64 characters) that is the name of the view that enables you only to view the contents of the agent.

write

(Optional) The option that allows you to specify a write view.

writeview

A string (not to exceed 64 characters) that is the name of the view that enables you to enter data and configure the contents of the agent.

notify

(Optional) The option that allows you to specify a notify view

notifyview

A string (not to exceed 64 characters) that is the name of the view that enables you to specify a notify, inform, or trap.

Modification

11.(3)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When a community string is configured internally, two groups with the name public are autogenerated, one for the v1 security model and the other for the v2c security model. Similarly, deleting a community string will delete a v1 group with the name public and a v2c group with the name public.

Configuring Notify Views

Do not specify a notify view when configuring an SNMP group for the following reasons:

The snmp-server host command autogenerates a notify view for the user, and then adds it to the group associated with that user.

Modifying the group's notify view will affect all users associated with that group.

The notifyview option is available for two reasons:

If a group has a notify view that is set using SNMP, you may need to change the notify view.

The snmp-server host command may have been configured before the snmp-server group command. In this case, you must either reconfigure the snmp-server host command, or specify the appropriate notify view.

Instead of specifying the notify view for a group as part of the snmp-server group command, use the following commands in global configuration mode:

Step
Command
Purpose

1.

snmp-server user

Configures an SNMP user.

2.

snmp-server group

Configures an SNMP group, without adding a notify view.

3.

snmp-server host

Autogenerates the notify view by specifying the recipient of a trap operation.


Working with Passwords and Digests

No default values exist for authentication or privacy algorithms when you configure the command. Also, no default passwords exist. The minimum length for a password is one character, although Cisco recommends using eight characters for security. If you forget a password, you cannot recover it and will need to reconfigure the user. You can specify either a plain-text password or a localized MD5 digest.

The following example shows how to enter a plain-text password for the string arizona2 for user John in group Johngroup, type the following command line:

snmp-server user John Johngroup v3 auth md5 arizona2

When you enter a show running-config command, you will not see a line for this user. To see if this user has been added to the configuration, type the show snmp user command.

If you have the localized MD5 or SHA digest, you can specify that string instead of the plain-text password. The digest should be formatted as aa:bb:cc:dd where aa, bb, and cc are hex values. Also, the digest should be exactly 16 octets long.

The following example shows how to specify the command with a digest name of 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF:

Router(config)# snmp-server user John Johngroup v3 encrypted auth md5

voice—Sends SNMP poor quality of voice traps, when used with the snmp enable peer-trap poor qov command.

vsimasterSends VSI Master notifications.

x25—Sends X.25 event notifications.

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) Specifies the Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing/forwarding (VRF) table that should be used to send SNMP notifications.


Defaults

This command is disabled by default. No notifications are sent.

If you enter this command with no keywords, the default is to send all trap types to the host. No informs will be sent to this host.

If no version keyword is present, the default is version 1. If version 3 is specified, but the security level is not specified, the default security level is noauth.

The no snmp-server host command with no keywords will disable traps, but not informs, to the host. In order to disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs command.

The default UDP port is 162.


Note If the community-string is not defined using the snmp-server community command prior to using this command, the default form of the snmp-server community command will automatically be inserted into the configuration. The password (community-string) used for this automatic configuration of the snmp-server community will be the same as specified in the snmp-server host command. This is the default behavior for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3) and later.

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send acknowledgments when it receives traps. The sender cannot determine if the traps were received. However, an SNMP entity that receives an inform request acknowledges the message with an SNMP response PDU. If the sender never receives the response, the inform request can be sent again. Thus, informs are more likely to reach their intended destination.

However, informs consume more resources in the agent and in the network. Unlike a trap, which is discarded as soon as it is sent, an inform request must be held in memory until a response is received or the request times out. Also, traps are sent only once, while an inform may be retried several times. The retries increase traffic and contribute to a higher overhead on the network.

If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications are sent. In order to configure the router to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server host command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host.

In order to enable multiple hosts, you must issue a separate snmp-server host command for each host. You can specify multiple notification types in the command for each host.

When multiple snmp-server host commands are given for the same host and kind of notification (trap or inform), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command. Only the last snmp-server host command will be in effect. For example, if you enter an snmp-server host inform command for a host and then enter another snmp-server host inform command for the same host, the second command will replace the first.

The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server enable command. Use the snmp-server enable command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally. For a host to receive most notifications, at least one snmp-server enable command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled.

However, some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable command. For example, some notification types are always enabled. Other notification types are enabled by a different command. For example, the linkUpDown notifications are controlled by the snmp trap link-status command. These notification types do not require an snmp-server enable command.

A notification-type option's availability depends on the router type and Cisco IOS software features supported on the router. For example, the envmon notification-type is available only if the environmental monitor is part of the system. To see what notification types are available on your system, use the command help ? at the end of the snmp-server host command.

The vrf keyword allows you to specify the notifications being sent to a specified IP address over a specific VRF. The VRF defines a VPN membership of a customer so data is stored using the VPN.

Regarding Notification Type Keywords

The notification-type keywords used in the snmp-server host command do not always match the keywords used in the corresponding snmp-server enable traps command. For example, the notification keyword applicable to MPLS traffic engineering tunnels is specified as mpls-traffic-eng (containing two dashes and no intervening spaces). The corresponding parameter in the snmp-server enable traps command is specified as mpls traffic-eng (containing an intervening space and a dash).

This syntax difference is necessary to ensure that the CLI interprets the notification-type keyword of the snmp-server host command as a unified, single-word construct, which preserves the capability of the snmp-server host command to accept multiple notification-type keywords in the CLI command line. The snmp-server enable traps commands, however, often use two-word constructs in order to provide hierarchical configuration options and to maintain consistency with the command syntax of related commands. Table 112 maps snmp-server enable traps commands to the keywords used in the snmp-server host command.

Examples

If you want to configure a unique SNMP community string for traps, but you want to prevent SNMP polling access with this string, the configuration should include an access-list. In the following example, the community string is named "comaccess" and the access list is numbered 10:

Router(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 10 
Router(config)# snmp-server host 172.20.2.160 comaccess 
Router(config)# access-list 10 deny any 

The following example sends RFC 1157 SNMP traps to the host specified by the name myhost.cisco.com. Other traps are enabled, but only SNMP traps are sent because only snmp is specified in the snmp-server host command. The community string is defined as comaccess.

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp 

The following example sends the SNMP and Cisco environmental monitor enterprise-specific traps to address 172.30.2.160:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp 
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon 
Router(config)# snmp-server host 172.30.2.160 public snmp envmon 

The following example enables the router to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public 

The following example will not send traps to any host. The BGP traps are enabled for all hosts, but only the ISDN traps are enabled to be sent to a host.

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps bgp
Router(config)# snmp-server host bob public isdn

The following example enables the router to send all inform requests to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string public:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps 
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public 

The following example sends HSRP MIB informs to the host specified by the name myhost.cisco.com. The community string is defined as public.

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps hsrp
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com informs version 2c public hsrp

The following example sends all SNMP notifications to xyz.com over the VRF named "trap-vrf":

Router(config)# snmp-server host xyz.com vrf trap-vrf

Usage Guidelines

The SNMP manager process sends SNMP requests to agents and receives SNMP responses and notifications from agents. When the SNMP manager process is enabled, the router can query other SNMP agents and process incoming SNMP traps.

Most network security policies assume that routers will be accepting SNMP requests, sending SNMP responses, and sending SNMP notifications. With the SNMP manager functionality enabled, the router may also be sending SNMP requests, receiving SNMP responses, and receiving SNMP notifications. The security policy implementation may need to be updated prior to enabling this functionality.

SNMP requests are typically sent to UDP port 161. SNMP responses are typically sent from UDP port 161. SNMP notifications are typically sent to UDP port 162.

Examples

The following example enables the SNMP manager process:

snmp-server manager

Command History

Modification

11.3 T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Sessions are created when the SNMP manager in the router sends SNMP requests, such as inform requests, to a host or receives SNMP notifications from a host. One session is created for each destination host. If there is no further communication between the router and host within the session timeout period, the session will be deleted.

The router tracks statistics, such as the average round-trip time required to reach the host, for each session. Using the statistics for a session, the SNMP manager in the router can set reasonable timeout periods for future requests, such as informs, for that host. If the session is deleted, all statistics are lost. If another session with the same host is later created, the request timeout value for replies will return to the default value.

However, sessions consume memory. A reasonable session timeout value should be large enough such that regularly used sessions are not prematurely deleted, yet small enough such that irregularly used, or one-shot sessions, are purged expeditiously.

Examples

The following example sets the session timeout to a larger value than the default:

snmp-server manager
snmp-server manager session-timeout 1000

Usage Guidelines

This command defines the length of the message queue for each trap host. Once a trap message is successfully transmitted, software will continue to empty the queue, but never faster than at a rate of four trap messages per second.

During device bootup, there is a possibility that some traps could be dropped because of trap queue overflow on the device. If you suspect this is occuring, you can increase the size of the trap queue (for example, to 100) to determine if traps are then able to be sent during bootup.

Examples

In the following example, the SNMP notification queue is increased to 50 events:

Router(config)# snmp-server queue-length 50

Modification

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The snmp-server trap link ietf command is used to configure your router to use the RFC2233 IETF standards-based implementation of linkUp/linkDown traps. This command is disabled by default to allow you to continue using the earlier Cisco implementation of linkUp/linkDown traps if you so choose.

However, please note that when using the default Cisco object definitions, linkUp/linkDown traps are not generated correctly for sub-interfaces. In the default implementation an arbitrary value is used for the locIfReason object in linkUp/linkDown traps for sub-interfaces, which may give you unintended results. This is because the locIfReason object is not defined for sub-interfaces in the current Cisco implementation, which uses OLD-CISCO-INTERFACES-MIB.my.

If you do not enable this functionality, the link trap varbind list will consist of {ifIndex, ifDescr, ifType, locIfReason}. After you enable this functionality with the snmp-server trap link ietf command, the varbind list will consist of {inIndex, ifAdminStatus,ifOperStatus, if Descr, ifType}. The locIfReason object will also be conditionally included in this list depending on whether meaningful information can be retrieved for that object. A configured sub-interface will generate retrievable information. On non-HWIDB interfaces, there will be no defined value for locIfReason, so it will be omitted from the trap message.

Examples

The following example shows the enabling of the RFC 2233 linkUp/linkDown traps, starting in privileged EXEC mode:
