7.3 Configuring SNMP Access
Use the SNMP Access menu to view and configure existing SNMP v1/v2 and SNMP v3 values and their current access
control settings. You can also view the SNMP V2/V3 events and their current values. The SNMP Access window consists
of the following tabs:
• Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access
• Configuring SNMP v3 Access
• Accessing SNMP v2/v3 Statistics
• Message Parameters
7.3.1 Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access
SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) is an evolution of SNMPv1. The Get, GetNext, and Set operations used in SNMPv1 are exactly
the same as those used in SNMPv2. However, SNMPv2 adds and enhances some protocol operations. The SNMPv2 Trap
operation, for example, serves the same function used in SNMPv1, but uses a different message format and is designed
to replace a SNMPv1 Trap.
Refer to the v1/v2c screen for information on existing SNMP v1/v2 community names and their current access control
settings. Community names can be modified by selecting a community name and clicking the
Edit button.
To review existing SNMP v1/v2 definitions:
CAUTION: Your system must be running Sun JRE version 1.5.x (or higher) or Mozilla for
the switch Web UI to be used with the SNMP interface.
NOTE: The SNMP facility cannot retrieve a configuration file directly from its SNMP
interface. First deposit the configuration file to a computer, then FTP the file to the switch.
NOTE: When accessing the switch via a SNMP client ensure that UDP traffic is allowed
on port 161 for the network being used for the switch and the SNMP client.
NOTE: The SNMP undo feature is not supported.
