Enabling SNMP Management Access
The switch can be configured to accept management commands from
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as
SMC’s EliteView. You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP
requests or (2) generate SNMP traps.
When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to
return information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the
requested data or sets the specified parameter. The switch can also be
configured to send information to SNMP managers (without being
requested by the managers) through trap messages that inform the
manager that certain events have occurred.
Community Strings
Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP
stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages
from the switch. You therefore need to assign community strings to
specified users or user groups, and set the access level.
The default strings are:
•
public
- with read-only access. Authorized management stations are
only able to retrieve MIB objects.
