Important Points to Remember
• Typically, 5-second timeout and 3-second retry values on an SNMP server are
sufficient for both LAN and WAN applications. If you experience a timeout with
these values, the recommended best practice on Dell Force10 switches (to
accommodate their high port density) is to increase the timeout and retry values
on your SNMP server to the following:
• SNMP Timeout—greater than 3 seconds
• SNMP Retry count—greater than 2 seconds
• If you want to query an E-Series switch using SNMP v1/v2/v3 with an IPv6
address, configure the IPv6 address on a non-management port on the switch.
• If you want to send SNMP v1/v2/v3 traps from an E-Series using an IPv6
address, use a non-management port.
• SNMP v3 informs are not currently supported with IPv6 addresses.
• If you are using ACLs in SNMP v3 configuration, group ACL overrides user
ACL if the user is part of that group.
• SNMP operations are not supported on a VLAN.
