6.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
The MBT-5003 100BaseT/10BaseTx Ethernet Management Interface supports three (3) different
management protocols:
• SNMP with public and private MIB

6.3 SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol designed to
facilitate the exchange of management information between network devices. The MBT-5003
SNMP agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
IMPORTANT
For proper SNMP operation, the MBT-5003 MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the MBT-5003 M&C. Refer to the MBT-5003 FW Release
Notes for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
