Configuring Snmp V1/V2 Access - Motorola WS5100 Series Reference Manual

NOTE: The SNMP facility cannot retrieve a configuration file directly from its SNMP
interface. First deposit the configuration file to a computer, then FTP the file to the switch.

7.3.1 Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access

SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) is an evolution of SNMPv1. The Get, GetNext, and Set operations used in
SNMPv1 are exactly the same as those used in SNMPv2. However, SNMPv2 adds and enhances some
protocol operations. The SNMPv2 Trap operation, for example, serves the same function used in SNMPv1,
but uses a different message format and is designed to replace a SNMPv1 Trap.
Refer to the v1/v2c screen for information on existing SNMP v1/v2 community names and their current
