Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports
a switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP "Enable",
SNMP agent will be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB,
can be accessed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set "Disable", SNMP
agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name, Trap Host IP
Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.
Function name: SNMP Configuration
Function Description: This function is used to configure SNMP settings,
community name, trap host and public traps as well as the throttle of
SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both
community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target
device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once com-
pleting the setting, click <Apply> button, the setting takes effect.
Parameters Description:
SNMP: The term SNMP here is used for the activation or de-activation
of SNMP.
Default is Enable.
Get/Set/Trap Community: Community name is used as password for
authenticating if the requesting network management unit belongs to
the same community group. If they both don't have the same commu-
nity name, they don't belong to the same group. Hence, the reques-
ting network management unit can not access the device with
different community name via SNMP protocol; If they both have the
same community name, they can talk each other.
Community name is user-definable with a maximum length of 15 cha-
racters and is case sensitive. There is not allowed to put any blank in
the community name string. Any printable character is allowable.
The community name for each function works independently. Each
function has its own community name. Say, the community name for
GET only works for GET function and can't be applied to other func-
tion such as SET and Trap.
Default SNMP function : Enable
Default community name for GET: public
Default community name for SET: private
Default community name for Trap: public
Default Set function : Enable
