Specifying IPv6 SNMP Parameters

You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the RUCKUS device will go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the network. To do so, enter the snmp-server host ipv6 command.

You can restrict SNMP access so that the RUCKUS device can be accessed only by the IPv6 host address that you specify.

The following example shows how to configure an IPv6 host as an SNMP trap receiver and to restrict SNMP access to an IPv6 host address.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13 mypublic port 200
device(config)# write memory
device(config)# management source-interface ethernet 1/2/1 protocol snmp
device(config)# snmp-server enable traps holddown-time 40

device# configure terminal
device(config)# snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13 mypublic port 200
device(config)# write memory
device(config)# snmp-client ipv6 2001:DB8:89::23
device(config)# snmp-server trap-source ethernet 1/2/1
device(config)# snmp-server enable traps holddown-time 40

The following RUCKUS ICX devices support IPv6 for SNMPv3:
