Configuring Basic Snmp Functions - 3Com 4210 9-Port Configuration Manual

adopts a hierarchical naming scheme to organize the managed objects. It is like a tree, with each tree
node representing a managed object, as shown in
identified by a path starting from the root.

The management information base (MIB) describes the hierarchical architecture of the tree and it is the
set defined by the standard variables of the monitored network devices. In the above figure, the
managed object B can be uniquely identified by a string of numbers {1.2.1.1}. The number string is the
object identifier (OID) of the managed object.

Configuring Basic SNMP Functions

SNMPv3 configuration is quite different from that of SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. Therefore, the
configuration of basic SNMP functions is described by SNMP versions, as listed in
1-2.
