SNMP Server Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software

This chapter describes the Cisco IOS XR software commands used to configure and monitor the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network monitoring and management.

For detailed information about SNMP concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see the Implementing SNMP on Cisco IOS XR Software configuration module in Cisco IOS XR System Management Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.


Note


The snmp-server commands enable SNMP on Management Ethernet interfaces by default. For information about how to enable SNMP server support on other inband interfaces, see the Implementing Management Plane Protection on Cisco IOS XR Software module in Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.


clear snmp counters

To clear the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) packet statistics shown by the show snmp command, use the clear snmp counters command in EXEC mode.

snmp-server interface

Enables an interface to send SNMP trap notifications and enter SNMP interface configuration mode.

show snmp interface notification

To display the linkUp and linkDown notification status for a subset of interfaces, use the show snmp interface notification command in EXEC mode.

show snmp interface notification { subset subset-number | regular-expression expression | [ type interface-path-id ] }

Syntax Description

subset subset-number

Specifies the identifier of the interface subset. The subset-number argument is configured using the snmp-server interface subset command.

regular-expression expression

Specifies a subset of interfaces matching a regular expression, for which to display information.

type

(Optional) Interface type. For more information, use the question mark (?) online help function.

interface-path-id

(Optional) Physical interface or virtual interface.

Note   

Use the show interfaces command to see a list of all interfaces currently configured on the router.

For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark ( ? ) online help function.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Regular expressions have two constraints:


  • Regular expressions must always be entered within double quotes to ensure that the CLI interprets each character correctly.

  • All characters that are part of a regular expression are considered regular characters with no special meaning. In order to enter special characters, such as "\" or "?," they must be preceded by the backslash character "\." For example, to enter the regular expression ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1, you would enter ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\\b[^>]*>(.*\?)</\\1.

Refer to the Understanding Regular Expressions, Special Characters, and Patterns module in Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router for more information regarding regular expressions.

When using the subset or regular-expression keywords, the actual display might not match the configuration if there are higher priority subset-number values that actually apply to the interface. This can happen for a set of interfaces that are included in two or more configured regular expressions or where an individual interface configuration is enabled.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the command to display a list of the MIB module instance identifiers registered on the system.

Although the command can be used to display a list of MIB OIDs registered on the system, the use of a Network Management System (NMS) application is the recommended alternative for gathering this information.

The command is intended only for network managers who are familiar with Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) syntax and the Structure of Management Information (SMI) of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model.

SNMP management information is viewed as a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store termed the MIB. Collections of related objects are defined in MIB modules. These modules are written using a subset of ASN.1 termed the SMI.

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.

Use the detailed keyword to display a list of the MIB module instance identifiers registered on the system. The output displays additional details, such as DLL and configuration information.

Use the dll keyword to display a list of the MIB modules loaded into the agent. This command can be used to find the supported MIBs.


Note


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

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the command to map an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community name to one or more of the following:


  • context name—Maps a community name to a specific SNMP context name. This allows MIB instances in an SNMP context to be accessed through SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c using this community name.
  • security name—By default, the community name is used to authenticate SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. Configure a security name for a community name to override the default and authenticate SNMP with the security name.
  • target—Target list identifies a list of valid hosts from which SNMP access can be made using a specific security name. When such mapping is done for a particular community name, SNMP access is allowed only from hosts included in the target list.

Use the clear keyword to specify that the clear text community string you enter is displayed encrypted in the show running command output. To enter an encrypted string, use the encrypted keyword. To enter a clear text community string that is not encrypted by the system, use neither of these keywords.

describes the default values for the different views.

Table 7  snmp-server group Default Descriptions

Default

Definition

read view

Assumed to be every object belonging to the Internet (1.3.6.1) object identifier (OID) space, unless the user uses the read option to override this state.

write view

Nothing is defined for the write view (that is, the null OID). You must configure write access.

notify view

Nothing is defined for the notify view (that is, the null OID). If a view is specified, any notifications in that view that are generated are sent to all users associated with the group (provided an SNMP server host configuration exists for the user).

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 notify view of the group affects all users associated with that group.

The notify view 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 command. In this case, 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 command, use the following commands in global configuration mode:


  • snmp-server user —Configures an SNMP user.
  • —Configures an SNMP group, without adding a notify view.
  • snmp-server host —Autogenerates the notify view by specifying the recipient of a trap operation.

No default values exist for authentication or privacy algorithms when this command is configured. In addition, no default passwords exist. The minimum length for a password is one character, although we recommend using eight characters for security. A plain-text password or localized Message Digest 5 (MD5) password can be specified. Forgotten passwords cannot be recovered, and the user must be reconfigured.

SNMP contexts provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) users with a secure way of accessing MIB data. When a VPN is associated with a context, that VPN’s specific MIB data exists in that context. Associating a VPN with a context enables service providers to manage networks with multiple VPNs. Creating and associating a context with a VPN enables a provider to prevent the users of one VPN from accessing information about users of other VPNs on the same networking device.

version

(Optional) Specifies the version of the SNMP used to send the traps.

1

Specifies SNMPv1, the default.

2c

Specifies SNMPv2C.

3

Specifies SNMPv3. Version 3 is the most secure model because it allows packet encryption. If you specify the SNMPv3 keyword, you must specify the security level.

auth

Enables Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) packet authentication.

noauth

Specifies that the noAuthNoPriv security level applies to this host. This is the default security level for SNMPv3.

priv

community-string

Password-like community string sent with the notification operation. We recommend defining this string using the snmp-server community command prior to using the snmp-server host command.

udp-port port

(Optional) Specifies the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port of the host to use. Range is from 1 to 65535. The default UDP port is 161.

notification-type

(Optional) Type of notification to be sent to the host. If no type is specified, all available notifications are sent. The notification type can be one or more of the following keywords:


  • bgp —Enables SNMP Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGPv4) traps.
  • config —Controls configuration notifications, as defined in the CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.43.2). The notification type is (1) ciscoConfigManEvent.
  • copy-complete —Enables CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB ccCopyCompletion traps.

  • sensor —Enables SNMP entity sensor traps.
  • snmp —Enables SNMP traps.
  • syslog —Controls error message notifications (Cisco-syslog-MIB). Specify the level of messages to be sent with the logging history command.

Command Default

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

The default UDP port is 161.

When this command is entered without keywords, the default is to send all trap types to the host.

If no version keyword is entered, the default is version 1.

If version 3 is specified, but the security level is not specified, the default security level is noauth.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send acknowledgments when it receives traps. The sender cannot determine if the traps were received. Traps are discarded as soon as they are sent. Traps are also sent only once.

When the command is not entered, no notifications are sent. To configure the device to send SNMP notifications, configure at least one command. When the command is entered without keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host.

To enable multiple hosts, issue a separate command for each host. You can specify multiple notification types in the command for each host.

When multiple commands are given for the same host and kind of notification (trap), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command. Only the last command is in effect. For example, if an command with the traps keyword is entered for a host and then another command with the traps keyword is entered for the same host, the second command replaces the first.

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

However, some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server traps command. For example, some notification types are always enabled. Other notification types are enabled by a different command.

The availability of a notification-type depends on the device type and Cisco software features supported on the device.

To display which notification types are available on the system, use the question mark ( ? ) online help function at the end of the command.

The no snmp-server host command used with no keywords disables traps.

Use the clear keyword to specify that the clear text community string you enter is displayed encrypted in the show running command output. To enter an encrypted string, use the encrypted keyword. To enter a clear text community string that is not encrypted by the system, use neither of these keywords.

Examples

The following example shows how to send 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 the snmp keyword is specified in the command. The community string is defined as comaccess.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp 
            
         

The following example shows how to send the SNMP traps to address 172.30.2.160:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps snmp 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host 172.30.2.160 public snmp
            
         

The following example shows how to enable the router to send all traps to the host, myhost.cisco.com, using the community string public:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public 
            
         

The following example shows how to prevent traps from being sent to any host. The BGP traps are enabled for all hosts, but only the configuration traps are enabled to be sent to a host.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps bgp
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host hostabc public config

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The subset-number argument is used to set the priority for an interface that matches more than one configured regular expressions. Lower values of the subset-number have a higher priority. If a single interface becomes part of a multiple-interface configured regular expression, the configuration with the lower subset-number value is applied.

Regular expressions have two constraints:


  • Regular expressions must always be entered within double quotes to ensure that the CLI interprets each character correctly.

  • All characters that are part of a regular expression are considered regular characters with no special meaning. In order to enter special characters, such as "\" or "?," they must be preceded by the backslash character "\." For example, to enter the regular expression ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1, you would enter ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\\b[^>]*>(.*\?)</\\1.

Refer to the Understanding Regular Expressions, Special Characters, and Patterns module in Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router for more information regarding regular expressions.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The command is used with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications.

The optional authentication keyword controls the sending of SNMP authentication failure notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command. An authentication Failure (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 Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) or Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication key or for a packet that is outside the window of the authoritative SNMP engine.

The optional linkup keyword controls the sending of SNMP linkUp notifications. The linkUp(3) trap signifies that the sending device recognizes one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration coming up.

The optional linkdown keyword controls the sending of SNMP linkDown notifications. The linkDown(2) trap signifies that the sending device recognizes a failure in one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration.

The snmp-server traps snmp command with the linkup or linkdown keywords globally enables or disables SNMP linkUp and linkDown traps. After enabling either of these traps globally, you can enable or disable these traps on specific interfaces using the no notification linkupdown disable command in interface configuration mode. According to RFC 2863, linkUp and linkDown traps are enabled for interfaces that do not operate on top of any other interface (as defined in the ifStackTable), and are disabled otherwise. This means that you do not have to enable linkUp and linkdown notifications on such interfaces. However, linkUp and linkDown notifications will not be sent unless you enable them globally using the snmp-server traps snmp command.

The optional coldstart keyword controls the sending of SNMP coldStart notifications. The 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.

The optional warmstart keyword controls the sending of SNMP coldStart notifications. The warmStart(1) trap signifies that the sending device is reinitializing itself such that neither the agent configuration nor the protocol entity implementation is altered.

Other SNMP commands require a view as a keyword. Use the command to create a view to be used as keywords for other commands that create records including a view.

Instead of defining a view explicitly, you can rely on the following predefined views, which are supported by the SNMP agent:

all

Predefined view indicating that a user can see all objects.

CfgProt

Predefined view indicating that a user can see all objects except the SNMPv3 configuration tables.

vacmViewTreeFamilyEntry

Predefined view indicating that a user can see the default configuration of vacmViewTreeFamilyEntry.

The predefined views supported on Cisco IOS XR software, however, do not match the predefined views specified in RFC 3415.

SNMP notification recipient that is reachable by way of a VRF can be configured. Notification is forwarded to the recipient represented by its address using the routing table instance identified by the VRF name.

Use the clear keyword to specify that the clear text community string you enter is displayed encrypted in the show running command output. To enter an encrypted string, use the encrypted keyword. To enter a clear text community string that is not encrypted by the system, use neither of these keywords.

An SNMP context identified by the value of the context-name argument can be mapped to a VRF in this mode. This context must be created using snmp-server context command.
