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. Users can choose to configure one or more
versions if needed.
3.1 Introduction to SNMP
SNMP provides a set of standard protocols for the communication between the Network
Management station (NM station) that runs the Network Management System (NMS) and
devices, allowing the NM station to manage devices and receive alarms reported by the devices.
3.2 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 communication, you need to configure the agent and
NM station. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configuration on an NM station, see the pertaining NM station operation guide.
3.3 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 communication, you need to configure the agent and
NM station. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configuration on an NM station, see the pertaining NMS operation guide.
3.4 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 communication, you need to configure the agent and
NM station. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configurations on an NM station, see the NMS operation guide.
3.5 SNMP Configuration Examples
This section provides several configuration examples of SNMP. The configuration roadmap in
the examples helps you understand the configuration procedures. Each configuration example
provides information about the networking requirements, configuration notes, and configuration
roadmap.
