FAQ
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management protocol used on TCP/IP networks. It supports batch network device management and implements unified management in spite of different device types (such as network switches, routers and firewalls) and different vendors. FS 3900 series high-performance Gigabit Ethernet L2/L3 Lite managed switches are suitable for home use, SMB (small and medium business), enterprise and campus networks. They support SNMP to offer simplicity and power for network management.
Connect one S3900 network switch to the NMS (network management station) via any port. SNMP communication is achieved by configuring NMS program on NMS side, and configuring agent on the network switch. NMS can get the status of S3900 switch by sending requests to agents and then control the devices remotely. And the agent can report the status and fault of the switch to the NMS in real-time.
Note that, there are three versions of SNMP, including SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
SNMPv1 was first defined in 1990, operating within the structure management information specification, and described in RFC 1157.
SNMPv2, defined by RFC 1411 and RFC 1452, improves SNMPv1 by adding further protocol operations and data types and providing security. However, SNMPv2 is not widely adopted because its security system is considered by many IT persons as overly complex. SNMPv2c, defined in RFC 1901-RFC 1910, improves error handling and SET commands compared to the previous versions. SNMPv2c is widely viewed as the de facto SNMPv2 standard.
SNMPv3 is introduced in RFC 3410, which adds security and remote configuration enhancements.
FS S3900 series switches support SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3, improving network administrators work efficiency and reduce management costs.
S3900 series switches consist of S3900-24F4S, S3900-24T4S, and S3900-48T4S. All three switches support SNMP. Any 100/1000Base-T port can be connected to the NMS by an Ethernet cable. But note that, S3900-24F4S switch is designed with 20x 1000Base-X SFP ports, 4x 1 Combo SFP ports and 4x 10G SFP+ ports. If one needs to use the SFP port to connect the NMS, 1000Base-T transceivers should be used on the 1000Base-X SFP ports or Combo SFP ports to connect S3900-24F4S and the NMS via Ethernet cables.
Successful configuration of running SNMP on S3900 series switches can be achieved via CLI commands. There are mainly three steps to configure SNMP on S3900 series switches.
Configure IP address.
Enable SNMP.
Configure the access rights
IP address:192.168.2.100
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0

Can a port group be a downlink port if the group is a trunk? By Chavers on May 1, 2022
Yes, if the port group is trunk type, it can also be used as a downlink port. By FS on May 2, 2022
How loud is it? I plan to use it in a homelab office and need to know if I will be able to sit next to it all day. Thanks By Harlan on March 14, 2022
It is fanless, so it's suitable for deployment in work areas or home scenes. By FS on March 15, 2022
Does this switch requires liscensing like the cisco types? By Aaron Laymon on March 14, 2022
It does not require a license, all the features listed are available directly on the switch. By FS on March 14, 2022
What are the dimensions? By Kilby on March 10, 2022
Physical dimensions 44 x 440 x 280mm(1.73'' x 17.32'' x 11.02''), this fits a standard19"rack slot with a minimum of 1U height. By FS on March 11, 2022
Does this switch come with rack mount ears and screws? By Herbert on March 9, 2022
Mine come with the ears and screws for the ears. By FS on March 11, 2022
Does the 10G Uplink port of this switch support the electrical interface module of FS? What happens to the rate? By Colby on January 1, 2022
The 10G port of S3900-24T4S switch can use FS electrical interface module, which has no impact on the rate. It only says that the electrical interface module is used with network cables, and the optical module is used with fiber optic cables. By FS on January 1, 2022
Does the switch support other operating systems besides FSOS? By Keith Carter on December 30, 2021
S3900-24T4S is a hardware and software integrated switch. It cannot be installed and adapted to other operating systems. By FS on December 30, 2021
Could you provide inter-VLAN routing and relevant documents? By Bruck on December 25, 2021
Hello, S3900-24T4S supports inter VLAN routing, You can refer to section 3.1 of this document: S3900 Series Switches Configuration Guide . By FS on December 25, 2021
Can the S3900-24T4S switch connect two routers and then segment the network? By Jacob on December 21, 2021
S3900-24T4S supports VLAN, L3 Static Routing, and QoS, which can meet your requirements for network segmentation. By FS on December 21, 2021
DHCP Server can be configured on S3900-24T4S switches, correct? By Goulet on December 17, 2021
I'm sorry you can't, it doesn't support DHCP Server. By FS on December 17, 2021
