3-2-14. SNMP

Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP) can manage devices equipped with SNMP agent, provided that the Man-

agement Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices. It is a

protocol used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP manager and agent

and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the management Information Base (MIB), de-

scribed 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. 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 ig-

nored.

Function name

SNMP Configuration

Function description

This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and

tion by identifying both community names, and then it can access the MIB information of

the target device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once complet-

ing the setting, click <Apply> button, the setting takes effect.
