SNMP Field

[yasseryy]

Hello all,

Is there a way to change the default snmp description field. The description field is not editable by default on the cisco switches and It send the swicth details , IOS  version TAC URL  .. etc . If I want to control what information will be send and edit this field , how can I do this ? any idea ?

Regard,

 Not possible, from network management and security viewpoint snmp security is  implemented (too) by using access lists, so that only network-manager-(hosts) and tools, can issue snmp requests to the switch(es)

                               (besides using a non-default snmp-community (string ), of course)

Hi,

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr is a read-only OID.
If you wish restrict its access you could setup ACL with SNMP views.
