Important Points to Remember
• Typically, 5-second timeout and 3-second retry values on an SNMP server are sufficient for both
local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) applications. If you experience a timeout
with these values, the recommended best practice on Dell Force10 switches (to accommodate their
high port density) is to increase the timeout and retry values on your SNMP server to the
following:
— SNMP Timeout—greater than 3 seconds
— SNMP Retry count—greater than 2 seconds
• If you are using access control lists (ACLs) in SNMP v3 configuration, group ACL overrides user
ACL if the user is part of that group.
• SNMP operations are not supported on a virtual LAN (VLAN).
