Overview
You can manage a switch by viewing and changing the management 
information base (MIB) objects on the device with the Simple Network 
Management Program (SNMP). The AT-S63 Management Software 
supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. This chapter explains 
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. For information on SNMPv3, refer to Chapter 19, 
”SNMPv3” on page 197.
To manage a switch using an SNMP application program, you must do the 
following:
ˆ
Activate SNMP management on the switch. The default setting for 
SNMP management is disabled. 
ˆ
Load the Allied Telesis MIBs for the switch onto your management 
workstation containing the SNMP application program. The MIBs are 
available from the Allied Telesis web site at www.alliedtelesis.com.
To manage a switch using SNMP, you need to know the IP address of the 
switch or of the master switch of an enhanced stack and at least one of the 
switch’s community strings.
You can configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c with the SNMPv3 Table menus 
described in Chapter 19, ”SNMPv3” on page 197. However, the SNMPv3 
Table menus require a much more extensive configuration.
