Another benefit for the user is the option of sending traps using the Simple Network
Management Protocol.
Management Information Base (MIB)
Database, which contains all the data (objects and variables) required for network
management.
Agent
An agent is a software tool, which collects data from the network device on which it is
installed, and transmits this data on request. Agents reside in all managed network
components and transmit the values of specific settings and parameters to the
management station. On a request from a manager or on a specific event, the agent
transmits the collected information to the management station.
Traps
Traps are spontaneous SNMP alarm or information messages, which are sent by an
SNMP-compatible device when specific events occur. Traps are transmitted with
maximum priority to various addresses (if required) and can then be displayed by the
management station in plain text. The IP addresses that are to receive these traps (trap
targets/receivers) must be set by the user on the relevant device.

OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.4346.11.11.3.0.1
Description Sent to the defined trap receiver on each modification or attempted modification of the
device password and contains information about the status of the last modification or
attempted modification.
OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.4346.11.11.3.0.2
Description Sent on each firmware-related modification to the diagnostic display and contains
additional information about the firmware status.
OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.4346.11.11.3.0.3
Description Sent each time the configuration is saved and informs the management station that the
configuration has been saved successfully.
This trap is sent in the event of configuration modifications (port name, port mode, device
name, IP address, trap receiver address, port mirroring, etc.), which are not yet saved
permanently. The trap also provides a warning that, if not saved permanently, the
modifications will be lost on a reset.
