SNMP ERS 8600 / ERS 8606

[x11tech]

I'm attempting to enable SNMP traps from an ERS8606 with the 8692 switch fabric module running 4.1.2 code. We need to be able to deliver SNMP traps when a port is unplugged or if a power supply fails. We are currently successfully receiving SNMP traps to our syslog server from the ERS5520 switches in the network, so we know that the syslog server is working properly. The pair of 8606s are configured as a redundant dual core, while the 5520s are at the edge (thus it's not routing.)

I am using the RWA account but the documentation that I have found on this refers to steps that are no longer valid for the 4.1 code (the old way of configuring SNMP has been deprecated, but it is unclear what the new way is.)

My instructor (I was sent to the class and am comfortable with the CLI) was unable to answer the question in a reasonable amount of time (he's still looking in to it when he has time in the lab), so I'm hoping someone here can be helpful.

Any assistance provided (preferably CLI commands) is appreciated.

Thank you

It is configured under "config sys syslog"

From here you can define a host and set logging levels

I think I see two questions in that post. The first pertaining to syslog configuration and the second pertaining to SNMP trap configurations.

Here's how to configure a syslog entry on an ERS 8600;

config sys syslog host 1 create
config sys syslog host 1 address 10.101.20.1
config sys syslog host 1 host enable

Assuming you have a default SNMP configuration here's how to configure an SNMP trap entry on an ERS 8600;

config snmp-v3 target-addr create <TRAP NAME> <IP ADDRESS>:162 TparamV1 taglist trapTag

And then if your switch has multiple IP interfaces (and whose switch doesn't these days) you'll need to configure which IP interface you'd like those SNMP traps to originate from.

config sys set snmp sender-ip <DESTINATION SNMP TRAP ADDRESS> <SOURCE IP ADDRESS>
config sys set snmp force-trap-sender true
config sys set snmp force-iphdr-sender true

Enjoy.
