SNMP Configuration Guidelines

If the switch starts and the switch startup configuration has at least one snmp-server global
configuration command, the SNMP agent is enabled.
An SNMP group is a table that maps SNMP users to SNMP views. An SNMP user is a member of an
SNMP group. An SNMP host is the recipient of an SNMP trap operation. An SNMP engine ID is a name
for the local or remote SNMP engine.
