Configuring the SNMP Policy Using the GUI
This procedure configures and enables the SNMP policy on ACI switches.
Before you begin
To allow SNMP communications, you must configure the following:
-
Configure an out-of-band contract allowing SNMP traffic. SNMP traffic typically uses UDP port 161 for SNMP requests.
-
Configure the APIC out-of-band IP addresses in the 'mgmt' tenant. Although the out-of-band addresses are configured during APIC setup, the addresses must be explicitly configured in the 'mgmt' tenant before the out-of-band contract will take effect.
