Configuring SNMP

To configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), include the following statements at the [edit snmp] hierarchy level of the configuration:

snmp {

    community community-name {

        authorization authorization; 

        clients {

            address restrict;

        }

        view view-name;

    }

    contact contact; 

    description description; 

    engine-id {

        (local engine-id | use-mac-address | use-default-ip-address);

    }

    filter-duplicates; 

    interface [ interface-names ]; 

    location location; 

    name name;

    nonvolatile {

        commit-delay seconds;

    }

    rmon {

        alarm index {

            description text-description;

            falling-event-index index;

            falling-threshold integer;

            interval seconds;

            rising-event-index index;

            falling-threshold integer;

            sample-type type;

            startup-alarm alarm;

            variable oid-variable;

        }

        event index {

            community community-name;

            description text-description;

            type type;

        }

    }

    traceoptions { 

        file size size files number;

        flag flag; 

    }

    trap-group group-name {

        categories [ categories ]; 

        destination-port <port-number>;

        targets {

            address;

        }

        version (all | v1 | v2);

    }

    trap-options {

        agent-address outgoing-interface;

        source-address address;

    }

    view view-name; {

        oid object-identifier (include | exclude);

    )

}

By default, SNMP is disabled.
