Accessing the device through SNMP

You can use an NMS to access the device MIB and perform GET and SET operations to manage and
monitor the device. The device supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3, and can work with various
network management software products, including IMC. For more information about SNMP, see
Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
By default, SNMP access is disabled. To enable SNMP access, log in to the device through any other
method.
