NTP Server Configuration
These commands enable you to synchronize the switch clock to a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server. By default, this option is disabled.
System SNMP Configuration
The switch supports SNMP-based network management. In SNMP model of network manage-
ment, a management station (client/manager) accesses a set of variables known as MIBs (Man-
agement Information Base) provided by the managed device (agent). If you are running an
SNMP network management station on your network, you can manage the switch using the
following standard SNMP MIBs:
 MIB II (RFC 1213)
 Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
 Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP port 161 for
SNMP messages. Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list of management objects
to retrieve or to modify.
