SNMP
SNMP is a TCP/IP application layer network management protocol that allows any TCP/IP
device to be managed across a TCP/IP network. It is based on the client-server paradigm.
The server (called a SNMP Agent) runs a process on the managed device that listens for a
client’s (a network management software running on a computer, usually called a NMS,
short for Network Management Station) polling requests to fetch or to set a data item on the
managed device. The SNMP Agent can also send alert messages (called Traps) to a NMS
automatically, based on the occurrence of certain events on the device that the Agent
resides.

a.
Community names identify the SNMP Trap community group that the traps on this
switch should be sending to. The identical Trap community names should also be set
on the NMS hosts that will be receiving the traps. Each name defined corresponds
with the
Trap host IP address
entry box with the same number. For example,
Trap
Community Name 1
corresponds with
Trap Host 1 IP Address
.
6. Enter an IP address, for the NMS host(s) that should be receiving traps from this
switch, into the text entry box next to any one of the 5 Trap host IP address entry
boxes from
Trap Host 1 IP Address to Trap Host 5 IP Address
