Logging in through SNMP from an NMS
You can run SNMP on an NMS to access the device MIB and perform GET and SET operations to
manage and monitor the device. The device supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3, and can work
with various network management software products, including IMC. For more information about SNMP,
see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
By default, SNMP access is disabled. To enable SNMP access, log in to the device by using any other
method.
Configuring SNMP login
Connect the Ethernet port of the NMS host to an Ethernet port of VLAN 1 on the switch, and make sure
that the NMS host and VLAN 1 interface can reach each other.

IMPORTANT:
This document describes only the basic SNMP configuration procedures on the device. To make SNMP
work correctly, make sure the SNMP settings (including the SNMP version) on the NMS are consistent with
those on the device.
Prerequisites
