Obtain Switch Information Through MIB

Hey All,

here, I will show an example of how to obtain switch information with MIB.

Configure the NMS.

1. Install the net-snmp software.

Net-snmp is third-party software. Obtain it through a formal channel and install it according to the software use guide.

2. Use the net-snmp software.

This software reads MIB information on the switch through command lines. For details about the command lines, see the net-snmp software use guide.

snmpwalk is used as an example:

snmpwalk –v   Version  -c Community Name          IP Address              OID

snmpwalk –v   2c           -c admin123                      10.137.217.203       1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5

-v: SNMP version. In this example, the SNMP version is v2c.

-c: community name. In this example, the community name is admin123.

IP address: IP address of the switch. In this example, the IP address is 10.137.217.203.

OID: ID of the object read by the NMS. In this example, the OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5. 

Thanks.
