www.dell.com | support.dell.com Defining SNMP Parameters Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent). The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB contains the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP protocol defines the MIB specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network. Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the device, the Embedded Web Server submits a valid community string for authentication. To open the SNMP page, click System → SNMP in the tree view. This section contains information for managing the SNMP configuration. Defining SNMP Global Parameters The SNMP Global Parameters page permits enabling both SNMP and Authentication notifications. To open the SNMP Global Parameters page, click System → SNMP → Global Parameters in the tree view. Figure 1-8. Global Parameters 14

Defining SNMP Parameters
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices
supporting SNMP run a local software (agent).
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables are defined in
the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB contains the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP
protocol defines the MIB specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the
network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the device, the
Embedded Web Server submits a valid community string for authentication. To open the SNMP page, click
System
→
SNMP
in the tree view.
This section contains information for managing the SNMP configuration.
Defining SNMP Global Parameters
The
SNMP Global Parameters
page permits enabling both SNMP and Authentication notifications. To open
the
SNMP Global Parameters
page, click
System
→

in the tree view.
