About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard for network
management that uses a common software agent to manage local and wide area
network equipment from different vendors; part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite and defined in RFC1157. SNMPv1 is
version one, or the original standard protocol. SNMPv3 is a combination of
proposal updates to SNMP, most of which deal with security.
Configuring SNMPv1
You can configure SNMPv1 read/write and read-only community strings, enable
or disable trap mode settings, and/or enable or disable the autotopology feature.
The autotopology feature, when enabled, performs a process that recognizes any
device on the managed network and defines and maps its relation to other network
devices in real time.
To configure the community string, trap mode, and autotopology settings and
features:
1 From the main menu, choose Configuration > SNMPv1.
The SNMPv1 page opens (Figure 14).
