Supported SNMP access features
Lists the SNMP access methods supported on FastIrondevices.
The following table lists individual Brocade FastIron switches and the SNMP access methods they
support. These features are supported in the Layer 2 and Layer 3 software images, except where
explicitly noted.

SNMP overview
SNMP is a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP sends messages, called protocol
data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data
about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP
requesters.
"Security Access" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Security Configuration Guide introduced a
few methods used to secure SNMP access. They included the following:
• Using ACLs to restrict SNMP access
• Restricting SNMP access to a specific IP address
