High-Level Configuration Process

You can implement SNMP on Extreme Networks switching devices using simple CLI commands as described in this chapter. The configuration process involves the following tasks:

1. Creating users and groups allowed to manage the network through SNMP
2. Setting security access rights
3. Setting SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) view attributes
4. Setting target parameters to control the formatting of SNMP notification messages
5. Setting target addresses to control where SNMP notifications are sent
6. Setting SNMP notification parameters (filters)
7. Reviewing SNMP statistics
