24 SNMP
SNMP
Feature overview You can use SNMP to configure the switch, view settings and statistics, and
upload or download code or configuration images. The SNMP agent on the
switch supports an incoming get-bulk operation to reduce network management
traffic when retrieving a sequence of Management Information Base (MIB)
variables and an elaborate set of error codes for improved reporting to the
network control station.
SNMP facilitates remote manageability of networked devices. The agent allows a
network control station to retrieve reports from the networked device. These
reports are based upon directions from the network control station or on preset
conditions.
Configuring an
SNMP server
To enable SNMP on your switch, you define and enable an SNMP server
community. The community includes a name, IP information, and a read-only or
read/write privilege setting. The SNMP management system on your network
must include this community name in SNMP requests sent to the switch.
Supported MIBs To view a list of the supported MIBs, enter the
show sysinfo
command in
Privileged EXEC mode.
