snmpconfig command

The BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring system can report information through SNMP to a managing system in your network.

BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring provides an SNMP MIB that enables your SNMP manager to get (read-only) management data from the end-user experience component, such as the following metrics:

OS-level standard metrics such as CPU usage or disk usage
Traffic-related metrics such as Watchpoint data from an Analyzer or Monitor

BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring uses SNMP traps to do the following functions:

Send platform alarms to an SNMP manager
Send alerts to an SNMP manager (if incident-detection rules and error-detection rules are enabled and triggered)

To set up the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring as a managed system, you enable the service, configure a local SNMP agent, and then configure the SNMP MIB or SNMP traps. To understand the process for configuring SNMP, you might first review the UI-based tasks for an Analyzer, Collector, or Monitor in Enabling SNMP for BMC End User Experience Monitoring.

SNMP configuration commands

Use the following commands to display SNMP service status, enable or disable the service, and perform other configuration tasks.

Commands for enabling SNMP

Command	Description
`snmpconfig -h`	Displays a description of the command Tip: Before running a CLI command, display the Help (-h) for a full explanation of the command's usage, parameters, and values.
`snmpconfig -s`	Displays the status of the SNMP configuration
`snmpconfig -I`	Displays the default engine ID for the component (The default engine ID is unique for each instance of an end-user experience component.)
SNMP agent parameters
`snmpconfig -e <version>`	Enables access to the SNMP agent that is using the specified protocol version (1, 2c, or 3 or all) You can enable access to the MIB for SNMPv1/SNMPv2c only, SNMPv3 only, or both SNMPv1/SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. You can only enable all versions if both versions were previously configured and then disabled temporarily; otherwise, use individual commands to enable and configure one SNMP version at a time.
`snmpconfig -d <version>`	Disables access to the SNMP agent that is using the specified protocol version (1, 2c, or 3 or all) You can disable access to the MIB for SNMPv1/SNMPv2c only, SNMPv3 only, or both SNMPv1/SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
`snmpconfig -p <port>`	Specifies the UDP port for SNMP service (default: 161) For the BMC Application Management Console and PAE, you can specify any port value.
`snmpconfig -i <engine>`	For v3, sets the hexadecimal string that uniquely identifies this component instance (use `-I` to display the default)
SNMP MIB parameters
`snmpconfig -c <community>`	Sets the SNMP v1/2c read-only community string (default: 12Change34Me56)
`snmpconfig -l <level>`	For v3, specifies the security level (1=noauthnopriv, 2=authnopriv, 3=authpriv; default: 1)
`snmpconfig -u <username>`	For v3, sets the user name (required; 1-16 characters)
`snmpconfig -a <authenication>`	For v3, specifies the authentication protocol (1=md5, 2=sha; default: 1)
`snmpconfig -x <password>`	For v3, sets the password for authentication
`snmpconfig -q <password>`	For v3, sets the password for privacy processing
SNMP trap parameters
`snmpconfig -E <version>`	Enable SNMP traps and specifies the version of SNMP compatible traps that you want the server to send (1, 2c, or 3) You can enable only one version of SNMP traps at a time. Enabling a version will disable the previously enabled version.
`snmpconfig -D`	Disables SNMP traps
`snmpconfig -H`	Specifies the trap manager (receiver) IP address or host name. You can omit the IP protocol (`-N)` if you specify the IP address for this parameter. If you specify the host name, then the IP protocol is required.
`snmpconfig -P <port>`	Specifies the UDP port for the SNMP trap manager (default: 162). This parameter should be used with either `-H` (to specify the IP address of the trap receiver host) or with `-N` (to specify the IP protocol version).
`snmpconfig -N <ipaddress>`	Specifies the IP protocol supported on the trap manager (4=IPv4, 6=IPv6; default: 4)
`snmpconfig -S <alarm level>`	Specifies the minimum alarm severity level that will generate a trap notification (1=Information, 2=attention, 3=error, 4=critical; default:1)
`snmpconfig -C <community>`	Sets the SNMP v1/2c read-only community string (default: public)
`snmpconfig -U <username>`	For v3, sets the user name (required; 1-16 characters)
`snmpconfig -L <security level>`	For v3, specifies the security level (1=noauthnopriv, 2=authnopriv, 3=authpriv; default: 1)
`snmpconfig -A <authentication>`	For v3, specifies the authentication protocol (1=md5, 2=sha; default: 1)
`snmpconfig -X <password>`	For v3, sets the password for authentication
`snmpconfig -Y <privacy protocol>`	For v3, sets the privacy protocol (1=des, 2=aes; default: 1)
`snmpconfig -Q <password>`	For v3, sets the password for privacy processing
snmpconfig -W	Remove trap manager address and port configuration (used along with the `-N` option).
