Configuring SNMP
This chapter describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature
that provides a method for managing network devices.
It includes the following topics:
• SNMP Versions and Workflow
• Model OIDs
• Configuring SNMP Views
• Managing SNMP Users
• Creating SNMP Groups
• Defining SNMP Communities
• Notification Recipients
• SNMP Notification Filters
SNMP Versions and Workflow
The switch functions as SNMP agent and supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3. It also
reports system events to trap receivers using the traps defined in the MIB that it
supports.
SNMP v1 and v2
To control access to the system, a list of community entries is defined. Each
community entry consists of a community string and its access privilege. Only
SNMP messages with the suitable community string and operation are responded
to by the system.
