C Simple Network Management Protocol
setup
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for managing the router through third-party applications
that support SNMP. The router firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 and a QLogic Management
Information Base (MIB) (see “Management Information Base ” on page 312). You may format traps
using SNMP version 1 or 2.
SNMP parameters
You can set the SNMP parameters using the CLI. (For command details, see the
“set SNMP command” on page 284)
Table 32 describes the SNMP parameters.
