Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) system is consisted of three parts: SNMP
manager, a managed device and SNMP agent. SNMP is an application-layer protocol that
allows SNMP manager and agent stations to communicate with each other. SNMP pro-
vides a message format for sending information between SNMP manager and SNMP
agent. The agent and MIB reside on the switch. In configuring SNMP on the switch, you
define the relationship between the manager and the agent. According to community, you
can give right only to read or right both to read and to write. The SNMP agent has MIB
variables to reply to request from SNMP administrator. And SNMP administrator can ob-
tain data from the agent and save data in the agent. The SNMP agent gets data from MIB,
which saves information on system and network.
SNMP agent sends trap to administrator for specific cases. Trap is a warning message to
alert network status to SNMP administrator.
The hiD 6615 S223/S323 enhances accessing management of SNMP agent more and
limit the range of OID opened to agents.
The following is how to configure SNMP.

with a community name and additional information.
To configure an SNMP community to allow an authorized person to access, use the fol-
lowing command on Global configuration mode.
