You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration
parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed

Safari
or
Mozilla Firefox 1.5

3.5 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch,
such as SNMP Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up
Gold. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station to use the
same community string
. This management method, in fact, uses
two community strings: the
get community
string and the
set community
string. If the SNMP
Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the
MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets
and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.
