Description
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network protocol used over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) that allows network administrators to monitor the status of the SonicWall switch and receive notification of critical events as they occur on the network/device. The SonicWall switch supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and all relevant Management Information Base II (MIB) groups.
Resolution
Steps to configure and test SNMP with SonicWall Switches
Note: SNMP is supported on switch firmware version 1.1.1.0 & above
1.SNMP is enabled by default on the switch with default Engine ID
It can be customized but has to be the same on Server & Agent
It's a combination of Vendor OUI & Device serial number
EX: 8000aca2032cb8ed554eaa
2. Add User & select the Privilege mode according.
User Privilege Modes: NoAuth | Auth | Priv
3. Add a Community list for the new user created
4. Create a Group list for the user created, select the security mode
5. Create an Access List for the Group created
- Username | Community List name doesn't accept special characters/spaces
- SNMP is enabled by default on the switch with default Engine ID
2. Add User & select the Privilege mode according.
User Privilege Modes: NoAuth | Auth | Priv
3. Add a Community list for the new user created
4. Create a Group list for the user created, select the security mode
5. Create an Access List for the Group created
6. Test connecting from SNMP Manager, It's able to connect to the Agent and get the data
