Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Server Commands

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 System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.


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 System Security Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.


add (bulkstat object)

To add a MIB object to a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) bulk statistics object list, use the add command in bulk statistics object list configuration mode. To remove a MIB object from an SNMP bulk statistics object list, use the no form of this command.

add {object-name | OID}

no add {object-name | OID}

Syntax Description

object-name

Name of the MIB object to add to the list. Object names are limited to those with mappings shown in the show snmp mib object-name command.

OID

Object identifier (OID) of the MIB object to add to the list.

Command Default

No MIB objects are configured for an object list.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics object list configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

All object names and OIDs in a single object list should belong to the same MIB index, but the objects need not belong to the same MIB table. For example, it is possible to group ifInoctets and a CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB object in the same schema because the containing tables are indexed by the ifIndex (in the IF-MIB).

The add command should be repeated as necessary until all MIB objects have been added to the object list.

Task ID

Task ID Operation
snmp

read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to add various MIB objects to an object list.


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-objects)# add 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-objects)# add ifAdminStatus 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-objects)# add ifDescr 
  

buffer-size

To configure a maximum buffer size for the transfer of bulk statistics files, use the buffer-size command in bulk statistics transfer configuration mode. To remove a previously configured buffer size from the configuration, use the no form of this command.

buffer-size bytes

no buffer-size [bytes]

Syntax Description

bytes

Size of the bulk statistics transfer buffer, in bytes. The valid range is from 1024 to 2147483647. The default is 2048.

Command Default

The default bulk statistics transfer buffer is 2048 bytes.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics transfer configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

A configured buffer size limit is available primarily as a safety feature. Normal bulk statistics files should not generally meet or exceed the default value while being transferred.

Task ID

Task ID Operation
snmp

Examples

This example shows how to set the buffer size to 1024 bytes:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server mib bulkstat transfer bulkstat1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# buffer-size 1024

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.

clear snmp counters

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

EXEC mode

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.7.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

The clear snmp counters command provides the ability to clear all SNMP counters used in the show snmp command without restarting any processes.

enable (bulkstat)

To begin the bulk statistics data collection and transfer process for a specific bulk statistics configuration, use the enable command in bulk statistics transfer configuration mode. To disable the bulk statistics data collection and transfer process for a specific bulk statistics configuration, use the no form of this command.

enable

no enable

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

Bulk statistics transfer is disabled.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics transfer configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

Specific bulk statistics configurations are identified with a name, as specified in the snmp-server mib bulkstat transfer-id command. The enable command begins the periodic MIB data collection and transfer process.

Collection (and subsequent file transfer) starts only if this command is used. Conversely, the no enable command stops the collection process. Subsequently, issuing the enable command starts the operations again.

Each time the collection process is started using the enable command, data is collected into a new bulk statistics file. When the no enable command is used, the transfer process for any collected data immediately begins (in other words, the existing bulk statistics file are transferred to the specified management station).

To successfully enable a bulk statistics configuration, at least one schema with a non-zero number of objects must be configured.

Task ID

Task ID Operation
snmp

read, write

Examples

The following example shows the bulk statistics transfer configuration named bulkstat1 as enabled:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server mib bulkstat transfer bulkstat1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# schema ATM2/0-IFMIB
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# url primary ftp://user:pswrd@host/folder/bulkstat1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# enable
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# exit
  

format (bulkstat)

To specify the format to be used for the bulk statistics data file, use the format command in bulk statistics transfer configuration mode. To disable a previously configured format specification and return to the default, use the no form of this command.

format {bulkBinary | bulkASCII | schemaASCII}

no format [bulkBinary | bulkASCII | schemaASCII]

Syntax Description

bulkBinary

Binary format.

bulkASCII

ASCII format.

schemaASCII

A human-readable ASCII format that contains additional bulk statistics schema tags. This is the default.

Command Default

The default bulk statistics transfer format is schemaASCII

Command Modes

Bulk statistics transfer configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

The bulk statistics data file (VFile) contains two types of fields: tags and data. Tags are used to set off data to distinguish fields of the file. All other information is in data fields.

Transfers can only be performed using schemaASCII format.

For each transfer/schema pair there is a header with tags for each object collected, followed by the collected data. For example, if the transfer name is T1 and the schemas in it are S1 (which collects ifInOctets and ifOutOctets) and S2 (which collects ifInUcastPkts and ifInDiscards). Then the output file looks like this:


Schema-def cempt1.cempWild "%u, %s, %s, %d" Epochtime instanceoid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.3 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.2

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-snmp-if)# index persistence 
  
         

instance (bulkstat schema)

To configure the MIB object instances to be used in a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) bulk statistics schema, use the instance command in bulk statistics configuration mode. To remove the instance definition, use the no form of this command.

instance {exact | wild } {interface interface-id [sub-if] | oid oid}

no instance

Syntax Description

exact

Specifies that the specified interface or object identifier (OID), when appended to the object list, is the complete OID to be used in this schema.

wild

Specifies that all instances that fall within the the specified OID or interface are included in this schema.

interface interface-id

Specifies an interface to be used to define the schema instance.

[sub-if] (Optional) Specifies that the object instances are polled for all subinterfaces of the specified interface in addition to the object instances for the main interface.
oid oid

Specifies an OID to be used to define the schema instance.

Command Default

No instances are configured.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics schema configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

The instance command specifies the instance information for objects in the schema being configured. The specific instances of MIB objects for which data is collected are determined by appending the value of the instance command to the objects specified in the associated object list. In other words, the schema object-list when combined with the schema instance specifies a complete MIB object identifier.

The instance exact command indicates that the specified instance, when appended to the object list, is the complete OID.

The instance wild command indicates that all subindices of the specified OID belong to this schema. For example, the command instance wild oid 1 includes all subindices of the instance, such as 1.1, 1.2 and so on. It does not include other instances that start with the number 1, such as 10 and 11.

Instead of specifying an OID, you can specify a specific interface. The interface interface-id keyword and argument allow you to specify an interface name and number (for example, gigabitethernet 0/6/5/0) instead of specifying the ifIndex OID for the interface.

The optional sub-if keyword, when added after specifying an interface, includes the ifIndexes for all subinterfaces of the interface you specified.

Only one instance command can be configured per schema. If multiple instance commands are used, the later commands overwrite the earlier ones.

poll-interval

To configure the polling interval for a bulk statistics schema, use the poll-interval command in bulk statistics schema configuration mode. To remove a previously configured polling interval, use the no form of this command.

poll-interval minutes

no poll-interval

Syntax Description

minutes

Integer in the range from 1 to 20000 that specifies, in minutes, the polling interval of data for this schema. The default is 5.

Command Default

Object instances are polled once every five minutes.

Examples

In this example, the polling interval for bulk statistics collection is set to once every 3 minutes in the schema called GigE2/1-CAR:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# config
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server mib bulk schema GigE2/1-CAR
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-sc)# poll-interval 3 

retain

To configure the retention interval for bulk statistics files, use the retain command in bulk statistics transfer configuration mode. To remove a previously configured retention interval from the configuration, use the no form of this command.

retain minutes

no retain [minutes]

Syntax Description

minutes

Length of time, in minutes, that the local bulk statistics file should be kept in system memory (the retention interval). The valid range is 0 to 20000. The default is 0.

Command Default

The bulk statistics file retention interval is 0 minutes.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics transfer configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

The retain command specifies how long the bulk statistics file should be kept in system memory, in minutes, after the completion of the collection interval and a transmission attempt is made. The default value of zero (0) indicates that the file is deleted immediately from local memory after a successful transfer.

If the retry command is used, you should configure a retention interval greater than 0. The interval between retries is the retention interval divided by the retry number. For example, if retain 10 and retry 2 are configured, retries are attempted once every 5 minutes. Therefore, if the retain command is not configured (retain default is 0), no retries are attempted.


Note


Once a successful transmission has occurred the bulk file is not retained regardless of the retain time.

Examples

In the following example, the bulk statistics transfer retention interval is set to 10 minutes:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server mib bulkstat transfer bulkstat1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# schema ATM2/0-IFMIB
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# url primary ftp://user:pswrd@host/folder/bulkstat1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# retry 2
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# retain 10
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bulk-tr)# exit
  

retry

To configure the number of retries that should be attempted for a bulk statistics file transfer, use the retry command in bulk statistics transfer configuration mode. To return the number of bulk statistics retries to the default, use the no form of this command.

retry number

no retry [number]

Syntax Description

number

Number of transmission retries. The valid range is from 0 to 100.

Command Default

No retry attempts are made.

Command Modes

Bulk statistics transfer configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

If an attempt to send the bulk statistics file fails, the system can be configured to attempt to send the file again using the retry command. One retry includes an attempt first to the primary destination and then, if the transmission fails, to the secondary location; for example, if the retry value is 1, an attempt will be made first to the primary URL, then to the secondary URL, then to the primary URL again, and then to the secondary URL again.

If the retry command is used, you should also use the retain command to configure a retention interval greater than 0. The interval between retries is the retention interval divided by the retry number. For example, if retain 10 and retry 2 are configured, retries are attempted once every 5 minutes. Therefore, if the retain command is not configured (or the retain 0 command is used) no retries are attempted.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the 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 ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide 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.

show snmp mib

To display a list of MIB module object identifiers (OIDs) registered on the system, use the show snmp mib command in

EXEC

mode.

show snmp mib [object-name | dll]

Usage Guidelines

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

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

Although the show snmp mib 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 show snmp mib 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.

show snmp mib bulkstat transfer

To display completed local bulk statistics files, use the show snmp mib bulkstat transfer command in EXEC mode.

show snmp mib bulkstat transfer [transfer-name]

Syntax Description

transfer-name

Specifies a named transfer file to display.

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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

The show snmp mib bulkstat transfer command lists all bulk statistics virtual files (VFiles) on the system that have finished collecting data. (Data files that are not complete are not displayed.)

The output lists all of the completed local bulk statistics files, the remaining time left before the bulk statistics file is deleted (remaining retention period), and the state of the bulk statistics file. The state of the bulk statistics file should be Retry. Retry indicates that one or more transfer attempts have failed and that the file transfer will be attempted again. The number of retry attempts remaining is displayed in parenthesis. After the successful retry or retry attempts, the local files created by the MIB process in the router are deleted and data collection begins again.

To display only the status of a named transfer (as opposed to all configured transfers), specify the name of the transfer in the transfer-name argument. The transfer-name argument names a file which is supposed to be created even before the retries.

Use the snmp-server community-map 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.

A device can support multiple instances of a logical network entity, such as protocol instances or VRFs. Most existing MIBs cannot distinguish between these multiple logical network entities. For example, the original OSPF-MIB assumes a single protocol instance on a device, but you can now configure multiple OSPF instances on a device.

The snmp-server context mapping command maps a context to a protocol instance, topology or VRF logical entity.

This table 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).

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 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 snmp-server group 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 snmp-server group command, use the following commands in global configuration mode:

  • snmp-server user —Configures an SNMP user.
  • snmp-server group —Configures an SNMP group, without adding a notify view.
  • 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 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

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.

Syntax Description

address

Name or IP address of the host (the targeted recipient).

clear

(Optional) Specifies that the community-string argument is clear text.

encrypted

(Optional) Specifies that the community-string argument is encrypted text.

informs

(Optional) Specifies to send inform messages to this host.

traps

(Optional) Specifies that notifications should be sent as traps. This is the default.

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

Enables Data Encryption Standard (DES) packet encryption (also called “privacy”).

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 these 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.
  • entity —Controls Entity MIB modification notifications. This notification type is defined in the ENTITY-MIB (enterprise 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.2) as: (1) entConfigChange.
  • fabric —Enables SNMP fabric traps.
  • fru-ctrl —Enables SNMP entity field-replaceable unit (FRU) control traps.
  • mpls —Enables SNMP Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) 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 appropriate task IDs. If the 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 snmp-server host command is not entered, no notifications are sent. To configure the device to send SNMP notifications, configure at least one snmp-server host command. When the command is entered without keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host.

To enable multiple hosts, 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), each succeeding snmp-server host command overwrites the previous command. Only the last snmp-server host command is in effect. For example, if an snmp-server host 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.

Either a host name or IP address can be used to specify the host.

The snmp-server host 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 snmp-server host 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 snmp-server host 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

This 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 snmp-server host command. The community string is defined as comaccess.


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp 
                     

This example shows how to send the SNMP traps to address 172.30.2.160:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps snmp 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host 172.30.2.160 public snmp
                    

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


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public 
                     

This 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/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# snmp-server traps bgp
RP/0/RSP0/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 appropriate task IDs. If the 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 ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide for more information regarding regular expressions.

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


Note


A maximum of 100 interfaces can be monitored for congestion.

Congestion configurations using the snmp-server mibs eventmib congestion-control command cannot be modified using SNMP SET and vice versa.


When the congestion between two intervals increases above the upper-threshold argument, an mteTriggerRising SNMP trap is generated. This trap is not generated until the congestion drops below the lower threshold and then rises above the upper threshold.

When the congestion between two intervals falls below the lower-threshold argument, and an SNMP mteTriggerRising trap was generated previously, an SNMP mteTriggerFalling trap is generated. The mteTriggreRising trap is not generated until the congestion goes above the upper threshold and then falls back below the lower threshold.

The lower-threshold value (falling) should be set to a value less than or equal to the upper-threshold value (rising).

The snmp-server mibs eventmib congestion-control command is configured on a specific interface and is supported on the following cards:

  • 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PLIM

  • 16-port OC-48c/STM-16 POS/DPT PLIM

Release Modification
Release 4.3.1 This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications are sent as traps.

BGP generates traps when:

  • A neighbor’s session state has changed.

  • A neighbor prefix limit has exceeded.

  • A neighbor prefix count is under the limit.

Multiple traps can be generated when the neighbor is not in steady state.

Configure snmp-server traps bgp updown command to prevent the generation multiple traps.

When you configure the snmp-server traps bgp updown command, traps are sent out only when the BGP neighbor goes to established state or moves out from the established state. The prefix limit traps remain unaffected.

When you configure the bgp keyword, traps are sent for IPv4 neighbor sessions only.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the router to send BGP state-change notifications to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public in IPv4 neighbor sessions only:

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

snmp-server traps cbgp2 updown

To enable Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to receive Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when a BGP peer changes state in both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions, use the snmp-server traps cbgp2 updown command in global configuration mode.

snmp-server traps cbgp2 [updown]

Syntax Description

cbgp2

Specifies IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions.

updown (Optional) Specifies trap notifications.

Command Default

SNMP notifications are disabled by default.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.3.1 This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications are sent as traps.

BGP generates traps when:

  • A neighbor’s session state has changed.

  • A neighbor prefix limit has exceeded.

  • A neighbor prefix count is under the limit.

Multiple traps can be generated when the neighbor is not in steady state.

Configure snmp-server traps cbgp2 updown command to prevent the generation multiple traps.

When you configure the snmp-server traps cbgp2 updown command, traps are sent out only when the BGP neighbor goes to established state or moves out from the established state. The prefix limit traps remain unaffected.

When you configure the cbgp2 keyword, traps are sent for both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the router to send BGP state-change notifications to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public in both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions:

Router(config)# snmp-server traps cbgp2 updown
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com version 2c public

Usage Guidelines

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

The snmp-server traps snmp 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 SNMPv2, 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 authoritative SNMP engine’s window, for example, the packets that are configured outside access lists or time ranges. In such an instance, only a report Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is generated, and authentication failure traps are not generated.

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.

snmp-server traps updown

To enable Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to receive Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when a BGP peer changes state in IPv4 or both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions, use the snmp-server traps updown command in global configuration mode.

snmp-server traps {bgp | cbgp2} [updown]

Syntax Description

bgp

Specifies IPv4 neighbor sessions.

cbgp2

Specifies IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions.

updown (Optional) Specifies trap notifications.

Command Default

SNMP notifications are disabled by default.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 4.3.1 This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications are sent as traps.

BGP generates traps when:

  • A neighbor’s session state has changed.

  • A neighbor prefix limit has exceeded.

  • A neighbor prefix count is under the limit.

Multiple traps can be generated when the neighbor is not in steady state.

Configure snmp-server traps updown command to prevent the generation multiple traps.

When you configure the snmp-server traps updown command, traps are sent out only when the BGP neighbor goes to established state or moves out from the established state. The prefix limit traps remain unaffected.

When you configure the bgp keyword, traps are sent for IPv4 neighbor sessions only. When you configure the cbgp2 keyword, traps are sent for both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the router to send BGP state-change notifications to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public in IPv4 neighbor sessions only:

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

The following example shows how to enable the router to send BGP state-change notifications to the host at the address myhost.cisco.com using the community string defined as public in both IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor sessions:

Examples

In the following example, an FTP server is used as the primary destination for the bulk statistics file. If a transfer to that address fails, an attempt is made to send the file to the TFTP server at 192.168.10.5. No retry command is specified, which means that only one attempt to each destination will be made.
