Configuring SNMP

The CLI and SNMP use common roles in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. You can use SNMP to modify a role that was created using the CLI and vice versa.

Users, passwords, and roles for all CLI and SNMP users are the same. A user configured through the CLI can access the switch using SNMP (for example, the DCNM-SAN or the Device Manager) and vice versa.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Information About SNMP Security
• Default Settings
• Configuring SNMP 
• Configuring SNMP Trap and Inform Notifications
• Field Descriptions for SNMP
• Additional References
• Feature History for SNMP
