Configure an SNMP Server

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) exchanges information between network devices and one or more central network management stations (referred to in ExtremeCloud IQ as an SNMP server). The devices send traps, which are unsolicited messages, to the management stations on UDP port 162 when events of note occur. Management stations also query monitored devices to check their operational status. The queries are in the form of get commands that management stations send on UDP port 161.
