2-5.1.7 SNMP
Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent,
provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the
managed devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of
information between SNMP manager and agent and traverses the Object Identity (OID)
of the management Information Base (MIB), described in the form of SMI syntax.
SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the request issued by SNMP
manager.
Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a switch
to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP “Enable”, SNMP agent will
be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via
SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set “Disable”, SNMP agent will be de-activated,
the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be
ignored.
2-5.1.7.1 System
This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function is
used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well
as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by
identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the
target device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once
completing the setting, c
lick <Apply> button, the setting
tak
es effect.
