Authentication
Purpose
SNMP is a fully defined, interoperative standard which helps you
manage both the switch and the network. To do this you can:
■
Specify the names of the hosts to access the SNMP agent on the
switch (authentication) by defining the source IP and community
■
Specify Read-Write or Read-Only for authenticated hosts
■
Request a trap to be sent if authentication is violated
Note
If no hosts are defined in the Authentication List, any host
can access the SNMP agent in the switch.
