Use SNMP Trace Operations to Monitor a Router

Purpose

Tracing operations record more detailed messages about the operation of SNMP, such as the various types of routing protocol packets sent and received, and routing policy actions. In this section, traceoptions are configured on a router, a MIB object is queried through a network management station, and the action of the query is verified with a log file on the router.

NOTE: Traceoptions, in general, requires extra router resources. It is recommended that you do not leave it on permanently.

Steps To Take

To use SNMP traceoptions to monitor a router, follow these steps:

  1. Configure Trace Operations for SNMP
  2. Query a MIB With SNMPGet
  3. Display the Output for SNMP Trace Operations
