SNMP
This section describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature that provides a method
for managing network devices.
It covers the following topics:

• Model OIDs
• SNMP Engine ID
• Configuring SNMP Views
• Creating SNMP Groups
• Managing SNMP Users
• Defining SNMP Communities
• Defining Trap Settings
• Notification Recipients
• SNMP Notification Filters
SNMP Versions and Workflow
The device functions as SNMP agent and supports SNMPv1, v2, and v3. It also reports system events to
trap receivers using the traps defined in the supported MIBs (Management Information Base).
SNMPv1 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. The system responds only to SNMP messages specifying the
community which has the correct permissions and correct operation.
