SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/
IP protocol suite. The RocketLinx ES7528 supports SNMP v1 and v2c and V3.
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a
manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed
switch. An agent translates the local management information from the managed
device into a SNMP compatible format. The manager is the console through the
network.
The following commands are included in this group:
•
SNMP Configuration
•
SNMP V3 Profile

SNMP Configuration
Use this page to configure the SNMP V1/V2c Community. The community string can be viewed as the password because
SNMP V1/V2c does not request you to enter a password before you try to access the SNMP agent.
The community includes two privileges:
•
Read Only
privilege, you only have the ability to read the values of MIB tables. The default community string is
Public
.
•
Read and Write
privilege, you have the ability to read and set the values of MIB tables. The default community string is
Private
.
The RocketLinx ES7528 allows you to assign four community strings.
Type the community string, select the privilege, and then click
Apply
.
Note: When you first install the device in your network, we recommend
that you change the community string. Since most SNMP
management application uses Public and Private as their default
community name, this could be a network security leak.
