SNMP Support
In a campus environment managed by the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the ATM
Workgroup Switch acts as an SNMP agent allowing you to configure the workgroup switch using SNMP.
ATM Workgroup Switch software contains a community table with up to ten IP addresses. Each IP
address has one of the following access attributes assigned:
Ÿ Read-only
Ÿ Read-write
Ÿ Read-trap
Ÿ Trap
Ÿ All (read-write and trap).
The ATM Workgroup Switch sends alerts to the IP addresses in the community table that have either
trap , read-trap , or all assigned. The workgroup switch can be configured via SNMP from stations
whose IP addresses have either read-write or all assigned. The workgroup switch can be monitored
from stations whose IP addresses have read-write , read-trap , read-only , or all assigned.
After the IP address of an SNMP station is entered in the community table, the workgroup switch can
send SNMP alarms and alerts to the SNMP station.
