About the SNMP agent

The WSM architecture is a switch within a switch, and it retains its own SNMP agent. The SNMP interface is through the 8600 CPU proxy. A special SNMP community string selects a WSM agent. The SNMP agent on the WSM communicates to the management station through VLAN 4093 on the 8600.

The 8600 is the WSM's trap host for receiving SNMP Traps. Traps are sent to the 8600 and then sent to the 8600's configured trap host.


Note Note: Due to SNMP incompatibility between in the Passport 8600 and the WSM, Device Manager displays an error message if you attempt to configure SNMP V2 on the Passport 8600 (config sys set snmp trap-recv xx.xx.xx.xx v2c public).
