SNMP
Use the SNMP Settings page to configure the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), including enabling the local SNMP agent on this switch, specifying
a trap manager, and setting the access strings.
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.
Field Attributes
• SNMP Enabled - Enables or disables SNMP on the switch. Supports SNMP
version 1and 2c management clients.
• SNMP Trap Destination - IP address of the trap manager to receive notification
messages from this switch. Traps indicating status changes are issued by the
switch to specified trap managers. You must specify trap managers so that key
events are reported by this switch to your management station.
• SNMP Read Community - A community string that acts like a password and
permits access to the SNMP database on this switch. Authorized management
stations are only able to retrieve MIB objects.
• SNMP Trap Community - Community string sent with the notification operation.
