Managing the Switch Using SNMP

 

 

Trap Community

This name needs to accompany trap messages. If it does

 

not match the name setting on the network management

 

station that receives the traps, the trap messages are

 

rejected and lost. By default, the trap community is set to

 

“public.”

Operation Types

The administrator uses several basic SNMP operations to obtain information from managed node agents as well as edit the variables in MIB objects. The following are the currently available SNMP operations:

File Name
