Introduction

Simple network management protocol (SNMP) provides monitoring and trap functions for managing the router through third-party applications that support SNMP. The router firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 and a QLogic management information base (MIB) (see page D-3). You may format traps using SNMP version 1 or 2.

SNMP Properties

You can set the SNMP properties using either the command line interface (see page A-35) or the SANsurfer Router Manager (see page 7-18).
