B Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

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 (see page B-3). You may format the traps using SNMP version 1 or 2 (see page B-11).

SNMP Properties

You can set the SNMP properties using either the command line interface (CLI) (see the iSR6140 Router CLI Users Guide) or the SANsurfer Router Manager (see the iSR6140 Router Manager Users Guide).

Table B-1describes the SNMP properties.
