Use SNMP
The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage
traps that the SNMP agent generates.
The switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that
support more switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a hyphen (-) prefix. The main
object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some
interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System Information screen, which displays after a
successful login, displays the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access
the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol. However, for authentication
and encryption, the switch only supports a single user called
admin
, which is the only profile
that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by
using the web interface:
1.
Select the
System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration
screen.
2.
To enable authentication, select one of MD5 and SHA authentication protocol options.
3.
To enable encryption:
a.
Select
DES
as the encryption protocol.
b.
In the Encryption Key field, enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric
characters.
4.
Click
APPLY
.
To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2:
1.
Select
System > SNMP > SNMPv1/v2
2.
Follow the link to the screen that contains the information to configure.
See
SNMP
for more information.
