Assigning SNMP Parameters
Use the SNMP 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 sections.
