You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the PoE Web Smart Switch configuration parameters from one central
location, just as if you were directly connected to the PoE Web Smart Switch's console port. Web Management requires
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
or later.

3.4 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the PoE Web Smart Switch, such as SNMPc
Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires
the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the
same community string
. This
management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the
get community
string and the
set community
string. If the
SNMP Network Management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only
knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default setting gets and sets community strings for the PoE Web
Smart Switch are public.
