SNMP logging configuration example

Configure the SNMP agent (1.1.1.1/24) in Figure 29 to log the SNMP operations performed by the NMS.

This example assumes that you have configured all required SNMP settings for the NMS and the agent (see "SNMPv1/SNMPv2c configuration example" or "SNMPv3 configuration example").

# Enable displaying log messages on the configuration terminal. (This function is enabled by default. Skip this step if you are using the default.)

<Agent> terminal monitor
<Agent> terminal logging

# Enable the information center to output system information with severity level equal to or higher than informational to the console port.

<Agent> system-view
[Agent] info-center source snmp channel console log level informational

# Enable logging GET and SET operations.

[Agent] snmp-agent log all

# Verify the configuration:

Use the NMS to get a MIB variable from the agent. The following is a sample log message displayed on the configuration terminal:

%Nov 23 16:10:09:482 2011 Agent SNMP/6/SNMP_GET: -seqNO=27-srcIP=1.1.1.2-op=GET-node=sysUpTime(1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0)-value=-node=ifHCOutOctets(1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.1)-value=; The agent received a message.

Use the NMS to set a MIB variable on the agent. The following is a sample log message displayed on the configuration terminal:

%Nov 23 16:16:42:581 2011 Agent SNMP/6/SNMP_SET: -seqNO=37-srcIP=1.1.1.2-op=SET-errorIndex=0-errorStatus=noError-node=sysLocation(1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0)-value=beijing; The agent received a message.

The information center can output system event messages to several destinations, including the terminal and the log buffer. In this example, SNMP log messages are output to the terminal. To configure other message destinations, see "Configuring the information center."
