MIB Links
Three hyperlinks provide access to the MIB diagrams for the Corporate, Enterprise and Products MIBs by
which the Matrix Switch SNMP protocol operates. When you click one of the MIB hyperlinks, the web
browser will request a location to save the MIB, then download and display the text file describing that MIB.
Configurable Parameter—Authentication Failure Traps (snmpEnableAuthenTraps)
This value indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate authentication-failure traps.
The variable is global. This means that by being disabled, all authentication-failure traps are disabled.
The two options for this variable are:
• enabled(1)
• disabled(2)
Saving your work
Once you have modified the value of Authentication Failure Traps you must click the Modify button to save
your settings into volatile DRAM. Once you click the button, the 6511RC will implement the changes imme-
diately.
Note
To save your changes persistently, (i.e. through a 6511RC power cycle) you
must visit the 6511RC HOME page, and click the Record Current Config-
uration button. When you click the Record Current Configuration but-
ton, the 6511RC will copy the configuration currently stored in volatile
DRAM into non-volatile Flash memory for persistent storage.

The following sections describe the statistical counts displayed in the In and Out columns on the SNMP Sta-
tistics table.
SNMP Statistics—In
This section describes the statistical counts displayed in the In column on the SNMP window.

ported SNMP version.
