Using SNMP
The ProSafe® Managed Switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and
users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
ProSafe® Managed Switches use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and
private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-”
prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private
MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The
System
Management
System Information
Web page,
which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is
admin
; therefore there is only one
profile that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using
the Web interface:
1.
Navigate to the
System
SNMP
SNMPv3
User Configuration
page.
2.
To enable authentication, select an
Authentication Protocol
option, which is either
MD5
or
SHA
.
3.
To enable encryption, select the
DES
option in the
Encryption Protocol
field. Then, enter
an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the
Encryption Key
field.

To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click
