3.5.5 Main Menu->System Admin->SNMP Configuration Menu
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a messaging protocol allowing communication
between network managers and agents. An SNMP manager is part of a network management system
(NMS), allowing an administrator to manage the network by making requests to agents. An SNMP
agent provides an interface to a managed device containing managed objects in a management
information base (MIB).
At the request of an SNMP manager, an SNMP agent retrieves or stores values in the MIB, which
contains information about the device and network. The SNMP agent can also send asynchronous
traps, which alert the SNMP manager to certain conditions on the network. A trap could result from
improper user authentication, PoE power usage over threshold or network topology changes..
Use the SNMP Configuration menu to manage the ES3000 switch using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) from a network management station. Configure the switch to
participate in the SNMP community and add the SNMP host agent to the host table. This prevents
unauthorized SNMP access to the switch from non-approved SNMP hosts.
SNMP management features on the switch include:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Support Standard MIBs:
• MIB II (RFC1213)
• Ethernet Interface MIB (RFC1643)
• Bridge MIB (RFC1493)
• Private Enterprise MIB
• 4-Group RMON (RFC1757)
