Configuring SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables you to manage network performance and
find and solve network problems as they arise. You can configure an SKM to provide SNMP data from
the SNMP Configuration page. You can access the SNMP Configuration page from the navigation bar
by selecting the SNMP icon in the Configuration folder. This chapter contains the following topics:
• SNMP Overview
• The SNMP Configuration Page
• SNMP Procedures
• Enterprise MIB Overview
SNMP overview
The SNMP protocol enables network and system administrators to remotely monitor devices on the
network, such as switches, routers, proxies, and hubs. This protocol relies on three main concepts:
network management station (NMS), agent, and Management Information Base (MIB). The NMS is
configured on a network node and runs SNMP management software; agents run on network devices
that are being monitored by the NMS; and the MIB defines what kind of information can be exchanged
between the agent and the NMS.
SNMP is a request–response protocol used to communicate management information between an NMS
and an agent. SNMP trap messages, sent from agents to managers, might indicate a warning or error
condition or otherwise notify the manager about the agent’s state. There are three versions of SNMP:
SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3. The SKM supports all three versions of SNMP.
NOTE:
There are many different versions of SNMPv2. The SKM supports SNMPv2c. For the sake of simplicity,
throughout the rest of this document SNMPv2c is referred to simply as SNMPv2.
