SNMP Versions and Workflow

Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
This section describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature
that provides a method for managing network devices.
It covers the following topics:
• SNMP Versions and Workflow
•

Model OIDs

• Configuring SNMP Views
• Managing SNMP Users
• Creating SNMP Groups
• Defining SNMP Communities
• Notification Recipients
• SNMP Notification Filters
The switch functions as SNMP agent and supports SNMPv1, v2, and v3. It also
reports system events to trap receivers using the traps defined in the supported
MIBs (Management Information Base).
SNMPv1 and v2
To control access to the system, a list of community entries is defined. Each
community entry consists of a community string and its access privilege. The
system will respond only to SNMP messages specifying the community which has
the correct permissions and correct operation.
