Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer
protocol used to monitor and manage TCP/IP-based networks. It provides for
the storage and exchange of management information.
The 8100fl switch supports the following SNMP versions:
■ SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) (RFC 1157)
SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c) (RFC 1901, RFC 1905, and RFC 1906)
■
Both versions of SNMP can coexist in the same managed network (RFC 2576).
You should configure the switch to run the SNMP version(s) supported by the
SNMP management stations. You can run both SNMP versions on the 8100fl
switch, depending on the one used by the SNMP management stations. (For
additional information on the different SNMP versions, refer to the RFCs for
each version.)
You can use the CLI to configure various SNMP tasks. This chapter described
how to perform these tasks. It contains the following sections:
To configure access to the Management Information Base (MIB) objects,
