Command Usage
Configuring SNMPv1/2c Management Access
To configure SNMPv1 or v2c management access to the switch, follow these steps:
1. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Global) page to enable SNMP on the switch, and to
enable trap messages.
2. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add Community) page to configure the
community strings authorized for management access.
3. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Trap) page to specify trap managers so that key
events are reported by this switch to your management station.
Configuring SNMPv3 Management Access
1. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Global) page to enable SNMP on the switch, and to
enable trap messages.
2. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Trap) page to specify trap managers so that key
events are reported by this switch to your management station.
3. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Engine) page to change the local engine ID. If you
want to change the default engine ID, it must be changed before configuring other parameters.
4. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure View) page to specify read and write access views
for the switch MIB tree.
5. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User) page to configure SNMP user groups with the
required security model (i.e., SNMP v1, v2c or v3) and security level (i.e., authentication and
privacy).
6. Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Group) page to assign SNMP users to groups, along
with their specific authentication and privacy passwords.
Configuring Global Settings for SNMP
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Global) page to enable SNMPv3 service for all
management clients (i.e., versions 1, 2c, 3), and to enable trap messages.
