2-6 SNMP 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. The 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 "Enable", 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 "Disable", SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored. 2-6.1 System This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click button, the setting takes effect. Web Interface To display the configure SNMP System in the web interface: 1. Click SNMP, System. 2. Evoke SNMP State to enable or disable the SNMP function. 3. Specify the Engine ID 4. Click Apply. Figure2- 6.1: The SNMP System Configuration Parameter description: These parameters are displayed on the SNMP System Configuration page:  SNMP State : The term SNMP here The term SNMP here is used for the activation or deactivation of SNMP. Enable: Enable SNMP state operation. Disable: Disable SNMP state operation. Default: Enable.  Engine ID : SNMPv3 engine ID. syntax: 0-9,a-f,A-F, min 5 octet, max 32 octet, fifth octet can't input 00. IF change the Engine ID that will clear all original user. 24

2-6 SNMP
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. The 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 “Enable”
, 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 “Disable”,
SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name,
Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.
2-6.1 System
This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function is used to
configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well as the throttle
of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both community
names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So, both parties must
have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click <Apply> button, the
setting takes effect.
Web Interface
To display the configure SNMP System in the web interface:
1.
Click SNMP, System.
2.
Evoke SNMP State to enable or disable the SNMP function.
3.
Specify the Engine ID
4.
Click Apply.
