Global Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) protocol designed
specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables
that are used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base
(MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP
agent.
SNMP State
Local Engine ID
(10-64 hex characters)
Click Apply to update the system settings.
Enables or disables the SNMP function. The default SNMP global state is:
Enabled.
Enter the Switch's Engine ID for the remote clients. A SNMPv3 engine is
an independent SNMP agent that resides on the Switch. This engine
protects against message replay, delay, and redirection issues. The engine
ID is also used in combination with user passwords to generate security
keys for authenticating and encrypting SNMPv3 packets. Normally, a local
engine ID is automatically generated that is unique to the Switch. This is
referred to as the default engine ID. If the local engine ID is deleted or
changed, all local SNMP users will be cleared and you will need to
reconfigure all existing users.
