Snmp Settings - D-Link DGS-1510 Series Hardware Installation Manual

DGS-1510 Series Gigabit Ethernet SmartPro Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Switch> show ip interface
Interface vlan1 is enabled, Link status is down
IP Address is 10.90.90.90/8 (Manual)
ARP timeout is 20 minutes.
Proxy ARP is disabled
IP Local Proxy ARP is disabled
gratuitous-send is disabled, interval is 0 seconds
Total Entries: 1
Switch>
In the above example, the command show ip interface is used to display information about the IP
interfaces created on this Switch. In this display we see that the IP address for this switch is 10.90.90.90
and the CIDR notation for the subnet mask is /8 which translates to 255.0.0.0. This information can
however be modified, as show below.
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)#
In the above example,
1. We accessed the Privileged EXEC Mode by entering the command enable.
2. Then we entered the Global Configuration Mode by entering the command configure terminal.
3. Then we entered the VLAN Configuration Mode of the default VLAN, which isVLAN 1, by
entering the command interface vlan 1.
4. Then we changed the IP address of the Switch to 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask to
255.255.255.0 by entering the command ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0.

SNMP Settings

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed
specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations
to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches and other network devices. Use SNMP to
configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the
Switch, switch group or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the
device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to
manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides
a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both
the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
