AT-S63 Management Software Features Guide
Section I: Basic Operations 89
Overview
You can manage a switch by viewing and changing the management
information base (MIB) objects on the device with the Simple Network
Management Program (SNMP). The AT-S63 Management Software
supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. This chapter explains
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. For information on SNMPv3, refer to Chapter 21,
”SNMPv3” on page 219.
To manage a switch using an SNMP application program, you must do the
following:
ˆ Activate SNMP management on the switch. The default setting for
SNMP management is disabled.
ˆ Load the Allied Telesis MIBs for the switch onto your management
workstation containing the SNMP application program. The MIBs are
available from the Allied Telesis web site at www.alliedtelesis.com.
To manage a switch using SNMP, you need to know the IP address of the
switch or of the master switch of an enhanced stack and at least one of the
switch’s community strings.
You can configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c with the SNMPv3 Table menus
described in Chapter 21, ”SNMPv3” on page 219. However, the SNMPv3
Table menus require a much more extensive configuration.
