Configuring SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. The
switch supports the following SNMP versions:
z SNMP version 1
z SNMP version 2c
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the switch. The variables are
defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification
format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network. Access rights to the
SNMP agents are controlled by access strings.
This section contains the following topics:
z Defining SNMP Communities
z Removing SNMP Communities
z Defining SNMP Traps
z Removing SNMP Traps
Defining SNMP Communities
Access rights are managed by defining communities in the SNMP Communities Setup Page. When the
community names are changed, access rights are also changed. SNMP communities are defined only
for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c.
Click Administration > SNMP > Communities > Setup. The SNMP Communities Setup Page opens.
