SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol
operations:

The switch supports the following MIBs:
• RFC 1213 SNMP MIB II
• MIB II - System
• MIB II - Interface
• RFC 1398 MIB - Ether-like
• RFC 1157 SNMP v1

18.1.2 SNMP Traps
The switch sends traps to an SNMP manager when an event occurs. SNMP traps supported are
outlined in the following table.
Table 38 SNMP Commands
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Get Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an
agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an
agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
Set Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
