GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual

Using SNMP

The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage
traps that the SNMP agent generates.
switch 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:
Navigate to the System  SNMP  SNMPv3  User Configuration page.
1.
To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
2.
SHA.
To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter
3.
an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
Click Apply.
4.
To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System  SNMP 
SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.
