SNMP Configuration
SNMP is a standard network management protocol widely used on TCP/IP networks. It uses a central computer (a network management station) that runs network management software to manage network elements. There are three SNMP versions, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. You can choose to configure one or more versions if needed.
- SNMP Overview
As a network management standard protocol used on TCP/IP networks, The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) uses a central computer (NMS) that runs network management software to manage network elements. - SNMP Features Supported by the Device
This section compares SNMP versions in terms of their support for features and usage scenarios to provide a reference for your SNMP version selection during network deployment. - Default Configuration
This topic describes the default settings of common parameters. - Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NMS by Running SNMPv1
After SNMPv1 is configured, a managed device and an NMS can run SNMPv1 to communicate with each other. To ensure communication, you need to configure the agent and NMS. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For details about configuration on an NMS, see the pertaining NMS operation guide. - Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NMS by Running SNMPv2c
After SNMPv2c is configured, a managed device and an NMS can run SNMPv2c to communicate with each other. To ensure communication, you need to configure the agent and NMS. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For details about configuration on an NMS, see the pertaining NMS operation guide. - Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NMS by Running
SNMPv3
After SNMPv3 is configured, a managed device and an NMS can run SNMPv3 to communicate with each other. To ensure communication, you need to configure the agent and NMS. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For details about configuration on an NMS, see the pertaining NMS operation guide. - Maintaining SNMP
This chapter describes how to monitor SNMP running status after the SNMP configuration is complete. - SNMP Configuration Examples
This section provides several examples for configuring SNMP. The configuration roadmap in the examples helps you understand the configuration procedures. Each configuration example provides information about the networking requirements and configuration roadmap. - Common Configuration Errors
This chapter describes the common SNMP configuration errors, including the fault symptoms and troubleshooting procedures.
