  • This will depend on the vendor's implementation.

    For your Linux devices, you will probably do something like this:  http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tutorial-5/demon/snmpd.html

    $ $ snmpconf -r none -g basic_setup

    ************************************************

    *** Beginning basic system information setup ***

    ************************************************

    Do you want to configure the information returned in the system MIB group

    (contact info, etc)? (default = y):[RETURN]

    Configuring: syslocation

    Description:

      The [typically physical] location of the system.

      Note that setting this value here means that when trying to

      perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make

      the agent return the "notWritable" error code. IE, including

      this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to

      the variable.

      arguments: location_string

    The location of the system: telephone closet, 3rd floor

    Finished Output: syslocation telephone closet, 3rd floor

    Here is an example for Cisco:  https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12-2_55_se/configuration/guide/scg_2960/swsnmp.html#10772

    CommandPurpose

    Step 1

    configure terminal

    Enter global configuration mode.

    Step 2

    snmp-server contact text

    Set the system contact string.

    For example:

    snmp-server contact Dial System Operator at beeper 21555.

    Step 3

    snmp-server location text

    Set the system location string.

    For example:

    snmp-server location Building 3/Room 222

    Step 4

    end

    Return to privileged EXEC mode.

  • Thanks
