2-­‐5.1.7 SNMP
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. 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. An
SNMP agent is running on the switch to respond to the request issued by the SNMP manager.
Basically, it is passive, except for issuing the trap information. The switch supports a switch to turn on
or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP to “Enable,” the SNMP agent will start up. All
supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is
set to “Disable,” the SNMP agent will be deactivated, and the related Community Name, Trap Host IP
Address, Trap, and all MIB counters will be ignored.
2-­‐5.1.7.1 System
This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. 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.
Web Interface
To display the configure SNMP System in the web interface:
1.
Click SNMP, System.
2. Evoke SNMP State to enable or disable the SNMP function.
3. Specify the Engine ID
4. Click Apply.
