4.4.14 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.
It is a protocol 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. 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.

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.
