[SNMP Menu]
The switch software supports SNMP-based network management. In SNMP model of network manage-
ment, a management station (client/manager) accesses a set of variables known as MIBs (Management
Information Base) provided by the managed device (agent). If you are running an SNMP network
management station on your network, you can manage the switch using the following standard SNMP
MIBs:
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP port 161 for SNMP
messages. Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list of management objects to retrieve or to
modify.
SNMP parameters that can be modified include:
System name
System location
System contact
Use of the SNMP system authentication trap function
Read community string
Write community string
