snmp command

This command configures and displays the CMM SNMP settings.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or snmp command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the snmp command.

Table 1. snmp command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.

Example: To view the SNMP configuration, while the primary CMM in bay 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type 
snmp
To enable the SNMP agent and SNMP traps, while the primary CMM in bay 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type 
snmp -a -on -t -on

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

system:mm[1]> snmp
