Section 2 SNMP Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of network devices. This Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide describes how to use SNMP to manage and monitor the SANbox/SANbox2 switch products. Specifically, this guide describes the SNMP agent that resides on the switch. The following topics are covered in this section: SNMP interface objectives Manager and agent Traps Management information base

2 – SNMP Overview A When an SNMP request arrives at the agent, the agent will compose a message and pass it on to Switch Management to process the message and provide a response to the agent. The agent then provides a response to the originator of the SNMP request. The SNMP agent does not have direct access to the internal database of the switch.

Section 4 MIB-II Objects This section covers the implementation details for the MIB-II on the SANbox/ SANbox2 switch. A MIB defines the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every managed device keeps a database of values for each definition written in the MIB. It is not the actual database itself; it is implementation dependant. Definition of the MIB conforms to the SMI given in RFC 1155. The latest Internet MIB is given in RFC 1213, and is sometimes called MIB-
