SNMP Configuration
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an 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 switch 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.
