Using SNMP

The EX2500 switch provides SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 support for access through any network management software, such as IBM Director or HP-OpenView.

SNMPv1, SNMPv2

To access the SNMP agent on the EX2500 switch, the read and write community strings on the SNMP manager should be configured to match those on the switch. The default read community string on the switch is public, and the default write community string is private.

The read and write community strings on the switch can be changed with the following commands on the CLI:

ex2500(config)# snmp-server read-community <1-32 characters>

and

ex2500(config)# snmp-server write-community <1-32 characters>

The SNMP manager should be able to reach the management interface or any one of the IP interfaces on the switch.
