ACCESSING THE SWITCH

USING SNMP

Any Network Manager running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the switch, provided the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the management station. Each Network Manager provides its own user interface to the management facilities.

The following sections describe how to get started if you want to use an SNMP manager. It assumes you are already familiar with SNMP management. If not, refer to the following publication:

In order to have access to the SNMP agent residing in the switch, at least one VLAN must have an IP address assigned to it.

For more information on assigning IP addresses, refer to Table 3-3.
