Setting SNMP Host on 2520G

Hi,

 

It been a while since I last had to configure a switch on our network and I'm having trouble specifiying the snmp-server host which is our procurve manager box,

 

In config mode I enter snmp-server host 10.1.1.73 "public"

 

When I press enter I receive Invalid input: public

 

I have checked the manual and the syntax looks ok and I can't see where to set the value in the configuration menus.

 

Any one have an idea where I'm going wrong?

 

Thanks

Re: Setting SNMP Host on 2520G

You need to add a debug level (at least on the switch I tried (e.g. 'all').

 

But - tab completion. 

 

snmp-server host 10.1.1.73 "public" <TAB>

 none                  Send no log messages.
 debug                 Send debug traps (for Internal use).
 all                   Send all log messages
 not-info              Send all but informational-only messages.
 critical              Send critical-level log messages.

Hi,

 

I've just tried your suggestion but I'm still getting the same result adding the debug level.

Sorted it.  Needed to include the word community...
