Configuring theAOS-CXswitch to be monitored by AirWave

Prerequisites

Aruba AirWave is active on the network.

Procedure

ArubaOS-CX交换机上启用SNMP by entering thesnmp-server vrfcommand.

switch(config)#snmp-server vrf mgmtswitch(config)#snmp-server vrf default

Configure the SNMPv2C community to public by entering thesnmp-server community publiccommand. In this instance,publicis a read-only community string.
```
switch(config)#snmp-server community public
```
The community-string is used by SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C for unencrypted authentication. SNMPv3 lets you encrypt the authentication mechanism. To enable SNMPv3, enter thesnmpv3用户andsnmpv3 contextcommands.
```
switch(config)#snmpv3用户Admin auth sha auth-pass ciphertext AQBapZHf2d20GYr/xcGUzYzm0zjNf/4VKHtSqbNImqtfYbJYCgAAALkGFJVcSp3nZ3o= priv des priv-pass ciphertext AQBapb0H2poBQKXPoVsC9L9qzZyfJQnzR7hmTr7LGsOsI7K3CgAAAKP98Rq2jfTrFwQ=switch(config)#snmpv3 context Admin
```
For discovering devices in AirWave through the SNMPv3 community, the SNMPv3 context name is not mandatory. Devices can still be discovered in Aruba AirWave without the SNMPv3 context name.
Enter theloggingcommand for enabling syslog forwarding to a remote syslog server, such as AirWave:
```
switch(config)#logging 10.0.10.2 severity debug
```
SNMP traps enable an agent to notify the management station of significant events by way of an unsolicited SNMP message. Enable SNMP traps by entering thesnmp-server hostcommand:
```
switch(config)#snmp-server host 10.10.10.10 trap version v2c vrf default
```
SNMP traps cannot be forwarded fromAOS-CX10.00 switches that have the VRF configured asmgmt. Later versions ofAOS-CXsupport SNMP trap forwarding even when the VRF is configured asdefaultormgmt.
