SNMP Configuration
ThischapterdescribestheSimpleNetworkManagementProtocol(SNMP)setofcommandsand
howtousethem.
SNMP Configuration Summary
SNMPisanapplication‐layerprotocolthatfacilitatesthe exchangeofmanagementinformation
betweennetworkdevices.SNMPenablesnetworkadministratorstomanagenetwork
performance,findandsolvenetworkproblems,andplanfornetworkgrowth.
SecureStackC2devicessupportthreeversionsofSNMP:
•Version1(SNMPv1)—Thisistheinitialimplementation
ofSNMP.RefertoRFC1157forafull
descriptionoffunctionality.
•Version2(SNMPv2c)—ThesecondreleaseofSNMP,describedinRFC1907,hasadditions
andenhancementstodatatypes, countersize,andprotocoloperations.
•Version3(SNMPv3)—This isthemostrecentversionofSNMP,andincludes
significant
enhancementstoadministrationandsecurity.SNMP v3isfullydescribedinRFC2571,
RFC 2572,RFC2573,RFC2574,andRFC2575.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
ThecomponentsofSNMPv1andSNMPv2cnetworkmanagementfallintothreecategories:
•Manageddevices(suchasaswitch).
•SNMPagentsandMIBs,includingSNMPtraps,communitystrings,andRemoteMonitoring
(RMON)MIBs,whichrunonmanageddevices.
