Assigning SNMP Parameters
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify
parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The switch includes an on-board SNMP agent which monitors the
status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its
ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network
Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this
information. Access rights to the on-board agent are controlled by
community strings. To communicate with the switch, the NMS
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.
