Using SNMP

The ProSafe® Managed Switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and 
users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.

ProSafe® Managed Switches use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and 
private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” 
prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private 
MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.

profile that can be created or modified.
