SNMP: Configuration for Network Management Applications
This chapter includes:
•
An overview of SNMP management for the switch.
•
SNMPv1, v2 and v3 support.
•
Bitview and Hubview through SNMPc.
•
Configuring the LE2425A and LEV2525A switches for:
• SNMP management
• SNMP Communities
• Traps Configuration
•
Information on advanced management through RMON
To implement SNMP management, you must configure the switch with an appropriate IP address.
8.1 Overview
You can manage the switch via SNMP from a network management station.
For this purpose, Blackbox recommends the
SNMPc
, an easy-to-install and use network management
platform that runs on Windows based PC’s. It uses the SNMP and RMON agents statistical sampling
software that is included in the switch to provide powerful, but easy-to-use traffic monitoring and
network activity analysis tools.
8.2
SNMP v1, v2 and v3
LE2425A and LEV2525A switches support all three versions of SNMP viz SNMP v1, v2 and v3.
User can switch between version 1 and version 3. (For details, please read section:
SNMPv3
)
Note
: SNMPv3 supports all three versions.
8.3
BitView and HubView
The BitView and HubView can be seen through SNMPc (Management PC Software).
LE2425A and LEV2525A’s that have BitView and HubView definitions can be managed graphically.
BitView displays a bitmap image that matches the faceplate of the device, whereas HubView is a
more generic view that shows the layout of the device, but always uses the same picture elements.
BitView is functionally similar to HubView, but displays a more realistic image of supported devices.
Generally, all the LEDs and other graphical elements available on the device front panel can be
displayed with BitView. As with HubView, you can select a device slot or port, and then a menu to
operate on the selected item.
