D-Link DES-1228 user manual System Snmp Setting

Priority: Displays each port’s 802.1p QoS priority level for received data packet handling. Default setting for all ports is Middle. You can change the priority settings in Qos > 802.1p Default Priority

NOTE: When the Combo Gigabit Fiber port and the Copper ports are both connected, the Fiber port will take precedence over the Copper ports, meaning the Fiber port will be the only connection. But, for 100M Fiber module, the Fiber port will not take precedence over the Copper ports.

System > SNMP Setting

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the Switch or LAN.

Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.

Community Setting: In support of SNMP version 1, the Web-Smart Switch accomplishes user authentication by using Community Settings that function as passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from a station that are not authenticated are ignored (dropped).
