-
Use the Tiebreaker CLI
snmp config wizard
command to add MetroCluster configurations.Only one SNMP trap host is currently supported. The following example shows the configuration of an SNMP receiver that supports SNMP V3 with an IP address of 10.240.45.66 and port number 162 for trap messages. The Tiebreaker software is ready to send traps to the SNMP receiver that you specified.
MetroCluster Tiebreaker :> snmp config wizard Enter SNMP Version[V1/V3]: v3 Enter SNMP Host: 10.240.45.66 Enter SNMP Port: 162 Enter SNMP V3 Security Name: v3sec Enter SNMP V3 Authentication password: Enter SNMP V3 Privacy password: Engine ID : 8000031504932eff571825192a6f1193b265e24593 Successfully added SNMP properties to MetroCluster Tiebreaker software.
You should configure SNMPv3 because SNMPv1 is not secure. Ensure that the default community string is NOT set to public. -
