Using SNMP
The ProSafe software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can
manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
ProSafe use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that
support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” 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
Management System Information Web page,
which is the page that 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, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one
profile that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using
the Web interface:
1. Navigate to the System
SNMP SNMPv3 User Configuration page.
2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
SHA.
3. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter
an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
4. Click APPLY.
To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System
SNMP
SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.
