TrustedNMS
TrustedNMS
Use TrustedNMS to configure a trusted network management system (NMS) on the switch. The trusted NMS is
identified by its IP address. The trusted network management system is the only NMS allowed to perform critical
operations such as:
•
Backup or restore a switch configuration
•
Add trap destinations for another NMS
•
Download switch software (switch operating system, boot load image, or POST)
When SNMP is used, the IP address of the requesting station is checked against the trusted NMS address as a method
of switch security. There can be only one trusted NMS configured on a switch.
