Chapter 2: System Configuration
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 responsd to the request issued by SNMP manager.
Essentially, SNMP is passive except for 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 start. 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 the <Apply> button, and 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.

Parameter Description
These parameters are displayed on the SNMP System Configuration page:
• SNMP State: 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. “Change the Engine
