POEGEM12T2SFP User Manual

3-7. SNMP Configuration

Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage any Managed device equipped with an SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices. SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP managers and agents and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the Management Information Base (MIB), described in the form of SMI syntax. The SNMP agent is running on the switch to respond to requests issued by an SNMP manager.

The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to turn the SNMP agent on or off. If SNMP is set to “Enable”, the SNMP agent will be started. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via an SNMP manager. If SNMP is set to “Disable”, the SNMP agent will be de- activated, the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.
