Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) protocol 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 on the
Switch or your local 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.
The default SNMP global state is disabled. Select Enable and then select Trap Settings. Click Apply to
enable the SNMP function.

SNMP Global Settings:
SNMP Global State: Select to enable or disable the SNMP feature.
SNMP Response Broadcast Request: Select to enable or disable the server to response to broadcast
SNMP GetRequest packets.
SNMP UDP Port (0-65535): Enter the SNMP UDP port number. The value is between 0 and 65535.
Trap Source Interface: Specify the interface whose IP address will be used as the source address for
sending the SNMP trap packet.
Trap Settings:
Trap Global State: Select to enable or disable the sending of all or specific SNMP notifications.
SNMP Authentication Trap: Tick this option to control the sending of SNMP authentication failure
notifications. An authenticationFailuretrap is generated when the device receives an SNMP message that is
not properly authenticated. The authentication method depends on the version of SNMP being used. For
SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, authentication failure occurs if packets are formed with an incorrect community string.
For SNMPv3, authentication failure occurs if packets are formed with an incorrect SHA/MD5 authentication
key.
Port Link Up: Tick this option to control the port link up notifications.
Port Link Down: Tick this option to control the port link down notifications.
Coldstart: Tick this option to control the sending of SNMP coldStart notifications.
Warmstart: Tick this option to control the sending of SNMP warmStart notifications.
Click the Apply button to save your settings.
