SNMP Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for

managing network devices. The PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and

M8024-k switches support SNMP version 1, SNMP version 2, and SNMP

SNMP is a standard protocol that enables remote monitoring and

management of a device through communication between an SNMP

manager and an SNMP agent on the remote device. The SNMP manager is

typically part of a Network Management System (NMS) that runs on an

administrative host. The switch software includes Management Information

Base (MIB) objects that the SNMP agent queries and modifies. The switch

uses standard public MIBs and private MIBs.

A MIB acts as a structured road map for managed objects. A managed object

is any feature or setting that can be configured or monitored on the switch.

An Object Identifier (OID) is the unique number assigned to an object

defined in a MIB. An OID is written as a sequence of subidentifiers in

decimal notation.
