SNMP Configuration
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 figures and table.
SNMP Administration Enable
Access to the management agent from SNMP-based network
management software can be enabled/disabled from this screen.
Clearing the checkbox next to “SNMP Administration” disables the
SNMP protocol in the agent so that the switch can only be
managed through the Web-based interface or a direct connection
to the serial port. Note that even when SNMP Administration is
disabled, the agent will continue to issue SNMP trap messages.
