SNMP configuration

The Simple Network Management Protocol configuration includes properties and trap parameters plus
SNMP v3 manager and user parameters.

SNMP properties and trap configuration parameters

Use the SNMP Properties dialog box
parameters.
• The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. The following characters may
not be used in the user-defined fields: pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
• The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1–Trap 5 to
configure each trap.
To set the SNMP properties:
1. Select a switch or stack in the fabric tree to open the faceplate/backplate display.
2. If you selected a switch, open the Switch menu, and select SNMP > SNMP Properties. If you selected a
stack, open the Stack menu, select SNMP Properties, and then select switch for initial configuration.
3. Select the desired SNMP parameters, referring to the descriptions of the SNMP parameters in
Table 13.
4. When you have finished setting the parameters, click OK to put the new values into effect.
