Cisco snmp Traps

Question

Hi Guys, I have installed a new Cisco MDS 9513 Switch and to have it monitored by the NNM Server(Network Management) which sends the traps to HPOV. But on the switch , when i am trying to configure the traps, i use the following commands , which doesn't seem to work or should i say am not able confirm if it is working, becuase the snmp server is not able to access the switch via snmp protocol and also if i change the port link by shutting it , nothing goes to NNM server, can someone please help me how to configure and give access to NNM servers on the Cisco switch and how i can test the snmp traps are being send. Command I used : switch01(config t)# snmp-server host traps version 2c private udp-port 162 tkodcsansw9513-01(config)# sh snmp host ------------------------------------------------------------------- Host Port Version Level Type SecName ------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.131.106.140 2162 v2c noauth trap public 10.131.2.14 1163 v2c noauth trap public 10.195.90.21 1163 v2c noauth trap public 10.131.181.71 162 v2c noauth trap private Message was edited by: Bhat Message was edited by: Bhat

Hi All,

I'm having the same problem. Today we have a DCNM server receiving the traps and sending emails to us.

Whem trying to conect to a HPOV server, the operator says that he is not receiving any traps.

My configs.

snesw080(config)# sh snmp host

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Host Port Version Level Type SecName

-------------------------------------------------------------------

10.168.179.79 2162 v2c noauth trap public

10.178.20.171 1163 v2c noauth trap public

10.121.12.5 2162 v2c noauth trap public

10.168.155.253 2162 v2c noauth trap public

10.168.37.88 162 v2c noauth trap public

10.168.238.57 162 v1 noauth trap eccuser

10.168.85.216 2162 v2c noauth trap public

10.168.55.98 162 v1 noauth trap eccuser

Whem I issue the command # sh snmp internal tcp connections I only see the old server configured

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

tcp 0 0 snesw080:161 snelnx998.interna:51243 ESTABLISHED

Is there anything else we have to configure in order to make that work correctly ?

Thanks

Hi RB, to access the switch via snmp you'll have to configure snmp-communities on the switch: Syntax: snmp-server community [community-name] [access-rights] Example: snmp-server community public ro

hi bschopp,

In my case, we just have the communty publis and ecc created on the switch.

snesw080# sh snmp community

Community Group / Access context

--------- -------------- -------

public network-admin

eccuser network-admin

The open view will only receive traps and deal with, send us notifications and open Internal calls.

our config is lake that.

10.168.37.88

162 v2c

noauth trap public

But the HPOV server dont receive any traps.
