Configuring Snmp V1/V2 Access - Brocade Communications Systems RFS6000 System Reference Manual

NOTE
When accessing the switch via a SNMP client ensure that UDP traffic is allowed on port 161 for the
network being used for the switch and the SNMP client.

Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access

SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) is an evolution of SNMPv1. The Get, GetNext, and Set operations used
in SNMPv1 are exactly the same as those used in SNMPv2. However, SNMPv2 adds and enhances
some protocol operations. The SNMPv2 Trap operation, for example, serves the same function
used in SNMPv1, but uses a different message format and is designed to replace a SNMPv1 Trap.
Refer to the v1/v2c screen for information on existing SNMP v1/v2 community names and their
current access control settings. Community names can be modified by selecting a community
name and clicking the Edit button.
NOTE
The SNMP undo feature is not supported.
To review existing SNMP v1/v2 definitions:
1. Select Management Access > SNMP Access > v1/v2 from the main menu tree.
