SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a
protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a
member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The Managed
Switch series support SNMP v1 and v2c and V3.
(Web Managed Switch doesn’t support SNMP
feature.)
An SNMP managed network consists of two main
components: agents and a manager. An agent is a
management software module that resides in a
managed switch. An agent translates the local
management information from the managed device
into a SNMP compatible format. The manager is the
console through the network.
Following commands are included in this group:
4.9.1 SNMP Configuration
4.9.2 SNMPv3 Profile
4.9.3 SNMP Traps
4.9.4 SNMP CLI Commands for SNMP
4.9.1
SNMP Configuration
This page allows users to configure SNMP V1/V2c Community. The community string can
be viewed as the password because SNMP V1/V2c doesn’t request you to enter password
before you try to access SNMP agent.
The community includes 2 privileges, Read Only and Read and Write.
With
Read Only
privilege, you only have the ability to read the values of MIB tables.
Default community string is Public.
With
Read and Write
privilege, you have the ability to read and set the values of MIB
tables. Default community string is Private.
The Managed Switch allows users to assign 4 community strings. Type the community
string and select the privilege. Then press
Apply
.
Note:
When you first install the device in your network, we highly recommend you to
change the community string. Since most SNMP management application uses Public and
Private as their default community name, this might be the leakage of the network security.
