Chapter 12 SNMP Configuration
12.1 Introduction of SNMP
SNMP is the most widely used network management protocol in TCP/IP. In the May of 1990,
RFC 1157 defined the first version of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)-SNMP
v1. RFC1157 and RFC1155 together offer a method for monitoring and managing computer
network. For this reason, SNMP has been widely used and became de facto standard of
network management.
SNMP has been developed rapidly in the beginning of 1990’s. However, it also has some
obvious shortcomings. For example, it can not support mass data transmitting. It doesn’t
support Authentication and Privacy strategies. So, SNMP v2 was released in 1993. SNMP v2
can support:
SNMPv2c provides several advantages over SNMPv1. SNMPv2c has expanded data types of
64-bit counter. It calls for improved efficiency and performance by introducing the GETBULK
operation. Confirmed event notification is sought by the introduction of the Inform operator.
Enhanced error handling approach, improved sets, and a fine tuned Data Definition
Language are some of the advantages of SNMPv2c over the SNMPv1.
SICOM series supports full SNMP v1 and v2.
SICOM series supports multiple EMS management stations (1-3).
SICOM series supports multiple trap IP addresses (1-5), and still extendable.
SICOM series supports standard MIB: RFC1213, RFC1757, RFC1493.
SICOM series private MIBs include: KYLAND-DEV.MIB, KYLAND-PORT.MIB,
KYLAND-CARD.MIB, LLDP.MIB, KYLAND-ALARM.MIB.
SICOM series can support standard trap according to RFC1215, private trap with richer
information, and its port status and ring status can be searched actively.
12.2 SNMP configuration
12.2.1 Enable/Disable SNMP
This function can enable or disable SNMP and this is the main switch SNMP function.
Enable SNMP
KYLAND(config)#snmp enable
Disable SNMP
KYLAND(config)#no snmp enable
