SNMP Configuration (Community Strings)
Use the Management Configuration screen to display and modify
parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The switch includes an on-board SNMP agent which monitors the
status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its
ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network
Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this
information. Access rights to the on-board agent are controlled by
community strings. To communicate with the switch, the NMS
must first submit a valid community string for authentication.
The options for configuring community strings and related trap
functions are described in the following figures and table.
SNMP Community Strings
The following figure and table describe how to configure the
