6.1 System
Parameter
Description
Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent,
provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the
managed devices. SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of
information between SNMP manager and agent, and traverses the object identity
(OID) of the management Information base (MIB), described in the form of SMI
syntax. SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the request issued by
SNMP manager.
Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a
switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP to “Enable”, the
SNMP agent will be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be
accessed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set to “Disable”, the SNMP agent
will be de
-
activated, and the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap
and all MIB counters will be ignored.
This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function
is used to configure SNMP settings including community name, trap host, public
traps, and the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by
identifying both community names, and then it can access the MIB information of
the target device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once the
setting is complete, click
<Apply>
button so the setting can take effect.
