System SNMP configuration

The switch software supports SNMP-based network management. In SNMP model of network management, a management station (client/manager) accesses a set of variables known as MIBs (Management Information Base) provided by the managed device (agent). If you are running an SNMP network management station on your network, you can manage the switch using the following standard SNMP MIBs:

MIB II (RFC 1213)

Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)

Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP port 161 for SNMP messages. Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list of management objects to retrieve or to modify.

SNMP parameters that can be modified include:

System name

System location

System contact

Use of the SNMP system authentication trap function

Read community string

Write community string

The following table describes the System SNMP Configuration commands. The following sections provide more detailed information and commands.

<1-64 characters>

characters.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server read- community <1-32

characters>

Configures the SNMP read community string. The read community string controls SNMP “get” access to the switch. It can have a maximum of 32 characters. The default read community string is public.

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server write- community <1-32

characters>

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server timeout

Sets the timeout value for the SNMP state machine. The range is 1-30 minutes. The

<1-30>

default value is 5 minutes.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

[no] snmp-server authentication-trap enable

Enables or disables the use of the system authentication trap facility. The default setting is disabled.

Command mode: Global configuration

[no] snmp-server link-

Enables or disables the sending of SNMP link up and link down traps. The default

trap

setting is enabled.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

[no] snmp-server ufd-
