Dell 2321DS manual 149, Snmp Configuration Window

In the SNMP category, you can enter system information and community strings. You may also designate which stations can manage the Remote Console Switch as well as receive SNMP traps from the switch. For more information on traps, see "Enabling Individual SNMP Traps" on page 150 in this chapter. If you check Enable SNMP, the unit will respond to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.

NOTE: The on-board web interface does not use standard SNMP to control switches and therefore does not use UDP port 161. The on-board web interface uses a secure, proprietary protocol to communicate with the Remote Console Switches over a different network port.
