SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol
designed specifically for managing devices on a network. SNMP is used to
configure devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as to
monitor them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems.
Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to specified trap managers.
Specify trap managers so that key events are reported by this switch to the
management station. It is possible to specify up to five management stations that will
receive authentication failure messages and other notification messages from the
switch.
To configure SNMP, select either of the following from the
drop-down list:
•
Disabled:
Prevents the switch from being administered remotely via
SNMP.
•
Enabled:
(Default setting) Allows the switch to be administered remotely
via SNMP.
Assign read-only or read-write privileges to the SNMP manager (applicable only if
SNMP is enabled):
•
Read-only community:
In the text box, enter a text string that functions as a
password to allow the SNMP manager to read configuration settings from
the switch. The default setting is public
.
The read-only community text
string appears as solid black circles.
•
Read-write community:
In the text box, enter a text string that functions as
a password to allow the SNMP manager to read configuration settings from
and write configuration settings to the switch. The default setting is private.
The read-write community text string appears as solid black circles.
Add entries to the
SNMP Trap Table
to send notification events from the switch to
SNMP managers when a significant event occurs:
1. Click the checkbox to activate trap notification.
2. In
the
IP Address
column, enter the IP address of the device to which the
switch is to send traps.
3. In
the
Community
column, enter a read-only or read-write community text
string.
Syslog Remote Logging
