The predefined default groups and view can be deleted from the system. You can then define customized groups and views for
the SNMP clients that require access.
Command Usage
Configuring SNMPv1/2c Management Access
To configure SNMPv1 or v2c management access to the switch, follow these steps:
1.
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Global) page to enable SNMP on the switch, and to enable trap messages.
2.
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add Community) page to configure the community strings authorized for
management access.
3.
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Trap) page to specify trap managers so that key events are reported by this switch
to your management station.
Configuring SNMPv3 Management Access
1.
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Global) page to enable SNMP on the switch, and to enable trap messages.

6.
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Group) page to assign SNMP users to groups, along with their specific
authentication and privacy passwords.

Administration - SNMP Options
Agent Status
Enables SNMP on the switch. (Default: Enabled)
Authentication Traps
Issues a notification message to specified IP trap managers whenever an invalid community string
is submitted during the SNMP access authentication process. (Default: Enabled)
These are legacy notifications and therefore when used for SNMPv3 hosts, they must be enabled in
conjunction with the corresponding entries in the Notification View.
