SNMP and MIBs
The switch’s implementation of SNMP is based on RFC 1157 “A Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)”, and RFC 1812, “Requirements for IP Version 4
Routers”. The SNMP agent is disabled by default. To enable SNMP, use the
command:
ENABLE SNMP
SNMP communities are the main configuration item in the switch’s SNMP
agent, and are defined in terms of a list of IP addresses which define the SNMP
application entities (trap hosts and management stations) in the community.
An SNMP community is created using the command:
CREATE SNMP COMMUNITY=name [ACCESS={READ|WRITE}]
[TRAPHOST=ipadd] [MANAGER=ipadd]
[OPEN={ON|OFF|YES|NO|TRUE|FALSE}]
