Managing the Switch Using SNMP
Trap Community This name needs to accompany trap messages. If it does
not match the name setting on the network management
station that receives the traps, the trap messages are
rejected and lost. By default, the trap community is set to
“public.”
Operation Types
The administrator uses several basic SNMP operations to obtain information from
managed node agents as well as edit the variables in MIB objects. The following
are the currently available SNMP operations:
File Name Location and Description
get-request / get-response Used to retrieve a single object in the MIB or query a
MIB; a get-request message receives a get-response
message.
get-next Used to traverse tables within the MIB or read
sequentially through a MIB.
set Used to manipulate (read-write) MIB objects or set a
value in the MIB.
trap Used to report alarms or events.
