Management: SNMP

Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the managed devices equipped
with the SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB)
is installed correctly on the managed devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is
used to govern the transfer of information between the SNMP manager and
agent and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the Management Information
Base (MIB), described in the form of Structure Management Information
(SMI). The SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the request
issued by the SNMP manager.
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",
the SNMP agent will be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON
MIB, can be accessed via the SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set
"Disable", the SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related Community
Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.

SNMP Configuration
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 completing the setting, click
<Apply> button, the setting takes effect.
