Using SNMP

The GS108T and GS110TP software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that
can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
GS108T and GS110TP switches use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and
private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a "-" prefix.
The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB.
Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System  Management  System Information Web page,
which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one profile
that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using the
Web interface:
1. Navigate to the System  SNMP  SNMPv3  User Configuration page.
2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
SHA.
