SNMP Configuration Guide

1 SNMP Configuration Guide
This document describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature supported in
Supermicro Layer 2 / Layer 3 switch products.
This document covers the SNMP configurations for the Supermicro switch products listed below.

• SSE-X3348T
The majority of this document applies to all the above listed Supermicro switch products. The content of
any particular sub section however, might vary across these switch product models. In those sections
the differences are clearly identified with reference to particular switch product models. If any particular
switch product model is not referenced, the reader can safely assume that the content is applicable to
all the above listed models.
Throughout this document, the common term "switch" refers to any of the above listed
Supermicro switch product models unless a particular switch product model is noted.

1.1 SNMP Basics

SNMP helps to monitor and manage the switches from network management systems (NMS). SNMP
solutions contain three major components – SNMP manager, SNMP agent and MIB (Management
Information Base) as shown in Figure – SNMP-1.
The SNMP MIB contains all the configuration and status information of the switch. MIB is organized in a
tree structure with branches and leaf nodes. Each node contains an object of information and is
identified with an object identifier (OID). SNMP MIB is stored and maintained in the switch.
