5.5.2 Configuring SNMP
Step 1
Select
Device Management
>
SNMP Settings
on the
System Info
page.
Step 2
Select SNMP version.
●
Select
SNMP v1
, and the Switch can only deal with information of SNMP v1.
●
Select
SNMP v2
, and the Switch can only deal with information of SNMP v2.
●
Select
SNMP v3
, and then configure username, password and authentication type.
When the server needs to access the Switch, it needs to set the corresponding
username, password and authentication type to complete the security verification, and
the v1 and v2 versions are not selectable.
We recommend you select the SNMP v3. Selecting SNMP v1 or SNMP v2 might be risky.
