About This Chapter
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard network management protocol
widely used on TCP/IP networks. It uses a central computer (a network management station)
that runs network management software to manage network elements. There are three SNMP
versions, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. You can configure one or more versions, if
needed.
1.1 Introduction to SNMP
SNMP provides a set of standard protocols for the communication between the network
management station (NM station) and devices, allowing the NM station to normally manage
devices and receive alarms reported by the devices.
1.2 Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NM Station by Running SNMPv1
After SNMPv1 is configured, a managed device and an NM station can run SNMPv1 to
communicate with each other. To ensure normal communication, you need to configure both
sides. This section describes only the configurations on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configurations on an NM station, see the pertaining NM station operation guide.
1.3 Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NM Station by Running SNMPv2c
After SNMPv2c is configured, a managed device and an NM station can run SNMPv2c to
communicate with each other. To ensure normal communication, you need to configure both
sides. This section describes only the configurations on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configurations on an NM station, see the pertaining NM station operation guide.
1.4 Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NM Station by Running SNMPv3
After SNMPv3 is configured, a managed device and an NM station can run SNMPv3 to
communicate with each other. To ensure normal communication, you need to configure both
sides. This section describes only the configurations on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configurations on an NM station, see the pertaining NM station operation guide.
1.5 SNMP Configuration Examples
This section provides several configuration examples of SNMP. The configuration roadmap in
the examples will help you understand the configuration procedures. Each configuration
example provides information about the networking requirements, configuration notes, and
configuration roadmap.
