7.3 Configuring SNMP Access
Use the SNMP Access menu to view and configure existing SNMP v1/v2 and SNMP v3 values and their current
access control settings. You can also view the SNMP V2/V3 events and their current values. The SNMP Access
window consists of the following tabs:
• Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access
• Configuring SNMP v3 Access
• Accessing SNMP v2/v3 Statistics
7.3.1 Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access
SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) is an evolution of SNMPv1. The Get, GetNext, and Set operations used in SNMPv1
are exactly the same as those used in SNMPv2. However, SNMPv2 adds and enhances some protocol
operations. The SNMPv2 Trap operation, for example, serves the same function used in SNMPv1, but uses a
different message format and is designed to replace a SNMPv1 Trap.
Refer to the v1/v2c screen for information on existing SNMP v1/v2 community names and their current access
control settings. Community names can be modified by selecting a community name and clicking the Edit
button.
To review existing SNMP v1/v2 definitions:
CAUTION Your system must be running Sun JRE version 1.5.x (or higher) or Mozilla for the
switch Web UI to be used with the SNMP interface.
NOTE The SNMP facility cannot retrieve a configuration file directly from its SNMP
interface. First deposit the configuration file to a computer, then FTP the file to the
switch.
NOTE The SNMP undo feature is not supported.
