POEGEM12T2SFP User Manual 55 Alloy Computer Products Pty Ltd Copyright ©2006 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.
