DVS Series Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches User’s Manual
3.2 SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
SNMP V1, V2 and V3 are supported on the Delta switch, and it’s enabled by default.
Delta switch supports standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that provide
additional functionality. You can use SNMP to enable or disable authentication traps, cold-start and
warm-start functionality traps, link up and link down traps, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) traps, SFP
traps, password and IP address change traps.
3.2.1 SNMP V1/V2
SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. The authentication of
clients is performed by a "community string", like a type of password, which is transmitted in clear
text.
SNMPv2 revises version 1 and includes improvements of performance, security, confidentiality, and
manager-to-manager communications. It adds a GetBulkRequest command; it sends iterative
GetNextRequests for retrieving large amounts of management data in a single request.
3.2.1.1 Community Configuration
There are two default communities preconfigured for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2:
public: All IP addresses can be accessed with a read-only permission.
private: All IP addresses can be accessed with a read/write permission.
