3-7. SNMP Configuration
Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent, provided
that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices.
The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP
manager and agent and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the management Information
Base (MIB), described in the form of SMI syntax. SNMP agent is running on the switch to
response the request issued by SNMP manager.
Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a
switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP “Enable”, SNMP agent will
be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via SNMP
manager. If the field SNMP is set “Disable”, SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related
Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.
Function name:
SNMP Configuration
Function description:
This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and
public traps as well as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication
by identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target
device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting,
click <Apply> button, the setting takes effect.
