SNMP Commands
SNMP commands control access to this switch from management stations
using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), as well as the error
types sent to trap managers.
SNMP Version 3 also provides security features that cover message integrity,
authentication, and encryption; as well as controlling user access to specific
areas of the MIB tree. To use SNMPv3, first set an SNMP engine ID (or accept
the default), specify read and write access views for the MIB tree, configure
SNMP user groups with the required security model (i.e., SNMP v1, v2c or v3)
and security level (i.e., authentication and privacy), and then assign SNMP
users to these groups, along with their specific authentication and privacy
passwords.
