Setting Up SNMP
Management
Any network management application running the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage a Switch if:
■
The correct Management Information Bases (MIBs) are installed on the
management workstation.
■
The management workstation is connected to the Switch using a port
in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on the Switch are in
VLAN 1.
You can use the 3Com Network Supervisor application that is provided on
the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch to provide SNMP
management for your Switch. If you use 3Com Network Supervisor it
automatically loads the correct MIBs and necessary files onto your
workstation.
Pre-requisites
■
Documentation supplied with the SNMP network management
application software.
To manage your Switch using an SNMP network management
application, you need to specify SNMP community strings for the users
defined on the Switch. You can do this using the command line interface
system management snmp community command — refer to the
command line interface section of the “SuperStack 3 Switch
Management Interface Reference Guide” for more information.
