SNMP Settings
SNMP is a protocol used to communicate management information between
network management applications and the switch. Other SNMP managers can
communicate with your switch by accessing MIB-II. When you open the SNMP
screen, the OBWI will retrieve the SNMP parameters from the unit.
From the SNMP screen, you can enter system information and community
strings. You may also designate which stations can manage the switch as well as
receive SNMP traps from the switch. If you select
Enable SNMP , the unit will
respond to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.
To configure general SNMP settings:
1 Click SNMP to open the SNMP screen.
2 Click to enable the Enable SNMP checkbox to allow the switch to respond
to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.
3 Enter the system’s fully qualified domain name in the Name field, as well as
a node contact person in the Contact field.
4 Enter the Read, Write, and Trap community names. These specify the
community strings that must be used in SNMP actions. The Read and
Write strings only apply to SNMP over UDP port 161 and act as passwords
that protect access to the switch. The values can be up to 64 characters in
length. These fields may not be left blank.
