Enterprise NOS supports SNMP‐based network management. In SNMP model of
network management, a management station (client/manager) accesses a set of
variables known as MIBs (Management Information Base) provided by the
managed device (agent). If you are running an SNMP network management
station on your network, you can manage the switch using the following standard
SNMP MIBs:
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP
port 161 for SNMP messages. Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list
of management objects to retrieve or to modify.
SNMP parameters that can be modified include:
System name
System location
System contact
Use of the SNMP system authentication trap function
Read community string
Write community string
Trap community strings
