3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the
Industrial Managed Switch
, such as SNMP
Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires
the SNMP agent on the
Industrial Managed 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 gets and sets community strings for the
Industrial Managed Switch
are public.
