Switch Management
3-3
The ES3000 switch also supports the Symbol-ES3000-MIB-06a MIB. This Symbol Technology
proprietary MIB allows SNMP to be used to initiate the TFTP download of runtime firmware to the
ES3000 switch and to initiate the uploading or downloading of ES3000 configuration files.
3.2.2 Configuring SNMP Communication
To configure SNMP, the administrator sets up
• General system information
• A list of managers allowed to access the agent’s MIB information
• A list of managers that receive traps
3.2.2.1 System Information
Use the System Information page (System Admin. > SNMP Config. > System info.) to set the switch
agent’s name, contact, and location information. This page displays the following:
• System Description: A description of the switch.
• System Object ID: The MAC address of the switch.
• System Name: The switch identification. The value can be a string up to 50 characters long.
• System Location: The switch location. For example, “Building M, Room 205.” The value
can be a string up to 50 characters long.
• System Contact: Contact information for the switch. For example, “Contact Switch System
Admin at x62304.” The value can be a string up to 50 characters long.
3.2.2.2 Manager Authorization
Use the Manager Authorization page (System Admin. > SNMP Config. > Authorized Managers) to
define the relationship between SNMP managers and the agent, which enables authorized SNMP
managers to access the MIBs on the switch. The administrator can also prevent unauthorized access.
The relationship between managers and agents is defined through a community string, which
functions like a password, and is associated with privilege, either read-only or read-write. The
administrator can also restrict communities to specific IP addresses.
This page displays a table of SNMP manager communities. The administrator can set or change the
parameters for each one. To apply the changes, click Apply. The page displays the following:
POWER-ETHERNET-MIB UDP-MIB
Q-BRIDGE-MIB
