Simple Network Management Protocol Menu
Use the SNMP menu to configure basic information and management
access settings for the Simple Network Management Protocol. The switch
includes an onboard agent that continuously monitors the status of its
hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports, based on the
SNMP. A network management station can access this information using
software such as EliteView. Access rights to the onboard agent are
controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the
management station 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.
