SNMP Configuration
This section describes configuration of the SNMP agent on the
bridge. When the SNMP agent has been configured, SNMP
applications can obtain information from it about the bridge.
This section describes how to:
■Configure the basic characteristics of each community and
globally enable or disable the Authentication Failure trap.
■Enable traps for individual communities and specify the IP
addresses to which the traps should be sent.
The basic concepts of SNMP are explained in Spanning Tree
Algorithm And Protocol (STAP) on page 1-16.
Remember to reset the bridge after setting up the SNMP agent if
you want your configuration to be saved and take effect.

Community Administration

The bridge has a community. A community defines an
administrative relationship between a client (a device) and the
SNMP agent it wishes to communicate with.
On the bridge, for the community you must configure:
■A community name used by the client and agent as a password
for communicating with each other and included in all messages
exchanged between them.
■A MIB view defining the subset of MIB variables that can be
accessed by client requests containing the community name.
■An access mode specifying whether client requests containing the
community name can perform read only (GET) operations, or read
and write (GET and SET) operations on MIB variables.
