SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol designed specifically for
managing devices on a network. Equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and
host computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network
environment, as well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems. The switch
includes an onboard SNMP agent that continuously monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic
passing through its ports. A network management station can access this information using network
management software. Access rights to the onboard agent are controlled by community strings. To
communicate with the switch, the management station must first submit a valid community string for
authentication.
