SNMP

The SNMP page allows you to configure the DXi6900 to send status messages using SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). The DXi6900 supports SNMP v1 and v2c.
SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network, or
communities. SNMP compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management
Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
You can configure the DXi6900 to act as an agent and send traps to a specified destination. You can also
add SNMP community information.
To access a copy of the SNMP MIB file, see
To access the SNMP page, on the Notifications page, click the SNMP tab.
