User Manual

3-6. SNMP Configuration

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

Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP “Enable”, SNMP agent will be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set “Disable”, SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.

Function name:

SNMP Configuration

Function description:

This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click <Apply> button, the setting takes effect.

Parameters description:

SNMP:

The term SNMP here is used for the activation or de-activation of SNMP. Default is Enable.

Get/Set/Trap Community:

Community name is used as password for authenticating if the requesting network management unit belongs to the same community group. If they both don’t have the same community name, they don’t belong to the same group. Hence, the requesting network management unit can not access the device with different community name via SNMP protocol; If they both have the same community name, they can talk each other.

Community name is user-definable with a maximum length of 15 characters and is case sensitive. There is not allowed to put any blank in the community name string. Any printable character is allowable.

The community name for each function works independently. Each function has its own community name. Say, the community name for GET only works for GET function and can’t be applied to other function such as SET and Trap.

KGS-2416 specifications

KTI Networks KGS-2416 is a sophisticated Ethernet switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. This device is particularly ideal for enterprises requiring robust performance for an expanding network infrastructure. With 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2 gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) uplink ports, the KGS-2416 provides ample connectivity options suitable for a variety of applications, including servers, workstations, and other network devices.

One of the standout features of the KGS-2416 is its support for Layer 2 switching, which enhances data traffic management by enabling the configuration of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). This capability allows network administrators to segment traffic and improve overall network performance and security. The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing for up to 4096 VLANs to be configured, thus ensuring flexible network design and management.

Additionally, the KGS-2416 supports advanced traffic management features such as Quality of Service (QoS). This technology prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted service for voice, video, and data applications. With support for multiple QoS standards, administrators can tailor the performance of their networks based on their specific needs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is another significant feature of the KGS-2416, allowing users to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to powered devices. This capability simplifies wiring and reduces the need for additional power supplies, making it an ideal solution for deploying IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

The switch is designed with an intuitive user interface that makes configuration and management hassle-free. It can be managed through both web-based GUI and command-line interface (CLI), providing flexibility for various administrative preferences. Moreover, the device supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for seamless integration into existing network management systems.

In terms of reliability, the KGS-2416 boasts features like redundant power supply options and a fanless design for silent operation. This makes it a reliable choice for environments where noise and downtime must be minimized. Overall, the KTI Networks KGS-2416 is an excellent choice for organizations looking for a feature-rich, reliable, and efficient Ethernet switch to power their networking needs.
