Using SNMP
The ProSafe® Managed Switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and
users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
ProSafe® Managed 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
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
1.
To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or

SHA.
To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter

an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
Click APPLY.

To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System
SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.
Interface Naming Convention
The ProSafe® Managed Switches support physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are
identified by their type and the interface number. The physical ports are gigabit interfaces and
