Troubleshooting Tips
To ensure that the SNMP process that receives incoming packets from the NMS is running, enter the
following command:
hostname(config)# show process | grep snmp
To capture syslog messages from SNMP and have them appear on the ASA or ASASM console, enter
the following commands:
hostname(config)# logging list snmp message 212001-212015
hostname(config)# logging console snmp
To make sure that the SNMP process is sending and receiving packets, enter the following commands:
hostname(config)# clear snmp-server statistics
hostname(config)# show snmp-server statistics

Purpose
Specifies the recipient of an SNMP notification. Indicates the interface
from which traps are sent. Identifies the name and IP address of the NMS
or SNMP manager that can connect to the ASA. The trap keyword limits
the NMS to receiving traps only. The poll keyword limits the NMS to
sending requests (polling) only. By default, SNMP traps are enabled. By
default, the UDP port is 162. The community string is a shared secret key
between the ASA and the NMS. The key is a case-sensitive value up to 32
alphanumeric characters. Spaces are not permitted. The default
community-string is public. The ASA and ASASM use this key to
determine whether the incoming SNMP request is valid. For example, you
could designate a site with a community string and then configure the
ASA or ASASM and the NMS with the same string. The ASA and
ASASM use the specified string and does not respond to requests with an
invalid community string. For more information about SNMP hosts, see
the "SNMP Hosts" section on page
Note
Sets the SNMP server location or contact information.
"Monitoring SNMP" section on page
When SNMP Version 3 hosts are configured on the ASA and
ASASM, a user must be associated with that host. To receive
traps, after you have added the snmp-server host command, make
sure that you configure the user on the NMS with the same
credentials as the credentials configured on the ASA and ASASM.
