If you experience a timeoutwith these values, the recommended best practice on Dell Force10 switches (to accommodate theirhigh port density) is to increase the timeout and retry values on your SNMP server to thefollowing:— SNMP Timeout—greater than 3 seconds— SNMP Retry count—greater than 2 seconds• If you are using access control lists (ACLs) in SNMP v3 configuration, group ACL overrides userACL if the user is part of that group.• SNMP operations are not supported on a virtual LAN (VLAN).show snmp Display the status of SNMP network elements.Syntax show snmpCommand Modes EXECEXEC PrivilegeCommandHistoryExample Figure 31-1. show snmp Command ExampleRelatedCommandsshow snmp engineIDDisplay the identification of the local SNMP engine and all remote engines that are configured on therouter.Syntax show snmp engineIDVersion 8.3.16.1 Introduced on MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO ModuleFTOS#show snmp32685 SNMP packets input0 Bad SNMP version errors0 Unknown community name0 Illegal operation for community name supplied0 Encoding errors96988 Number of requested variables0 Number of altered variables31681 Get-request PDUs968 Get-next PDUs0 Set-request PDUs61727 SNMP packets output0 Too big errors (Maximum packet size 1500)9 No such name errors0 Bad values errors0 General errors32649 Response PDUs29078 Trap PDUsFTOS#snmp-server community Enables SNMP and set community string.
