Home : CCSP-Cisco Certified Security Professional : SNMP Contact and Location

SNMP Contact and Location

You can use the configuration mode snmp-server {contact | location} command to identify the PIX Firewall system administrator and the unit location. Each item can be up to 127 characters and is case sensitive. Spaces are allowed, but multiple spaces are shortened to a single space. Some security policies might limit what’s entered here because the information could be useful to a hacker engaging in reconnaissance. Telephone numbers and contact names might be a useful tool to a person trying to act as if he belongs there or is deserving of assistance. Use the no form of the command to turn off the feature. Typing either command with new information overwrites the old entries. The syntax is

Pix(config)# snmp-server {contact | location} text
Pix(config)# no snmp-server {contact | location}

The following example shows a simple configuration:

Pix(config)# snmp-server location Building 19-67B
Pix(config)# snmp-server contact Network Security
