CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
3.5.1.7 S N M P
Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed
devices equipped with an SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed
devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP manager and agent and traverses
the Object Identity (OID) of the management Information Base (MIB), described in the form of SMI syntax. An SNMP agent is running
on the switch to respond to the request issued by the SNMP manager.
The SNMP agent is passive, except for issuing the trap information. The switch can turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the
field SNMP “Enable, ” the SNMP agent will start up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via the SNMP
manager. If the SNMP field is set to “Disable,” the SNMP agent will be deactivated, and the related Community Name, Trap Host IP
Address, Trap, and all MIB counters will be ignored.
SYSTEM
This section describes how to configure the SNMP System on the switch. This function is used to configure SNMP settings,
community name, trap host, and public traps, as well as SNMP throttle. An SNMP manager must pass the authentication by
identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. Both parties must have the same
community name. Once completing the setting, click the <Apply> button, and the setting takes effect.
WEB INTERFACE
To configure the SNMP System in the web interface:
1. Click SNMP, System.
2. Select Enable or Disable in the SNMP State field to enable or disable the SNMP function.
3. Specify the Engine ID.
4. Click Apply.
