POEGEM12T2SFP User Manual

Get/Set/Trap Community:

The Community name is used as a password for authentication to the Network Management software that is being used. If they both don’t have the same community name, they don’t belong to the same group. Hence, the requesting network management unit cannot access devices with different community names via the SNMP protocol. If they both have the same community name, they can talk to each other.

The community name is user-definable with a maximum length of 15 characters and is case sensitive. When creating the community name please ensure that no spaces are used.

The community name for each function works independently. Each function has its own community name. Therefore, the community name for GET only works for the GET command and can’t be applied to other functions such as SET and Trap.

Default SNMP function: Enable

Default community name for GET: public

Default community name for SET: private

Default community name for Trap: public

Default Set function: Enable

Default trap host IP address: 0.0.0.0

Default port number: 162

Trap:

In the POEGEM12T2SFP, there are six trap hosts supported. Each of them has its own community name and IP address; which are user-definable. To configure a Trap host you will need a network management System to receive the Trap messages from the switch. Six Trap hosts can be configured to allow the trap messages to be received by multiple recipients.

For each public trap, the switch supports the following trap events, Cold Start, Warm Start, Link Down, Link Up and Authentication Failure. They can be enabled or disabled individually. When enabled, the corresponding trap will actively send a trap message to the trap host when a trap happens. If all public traps are disabled, no public trap messages will be sent.

Default for all public traps: Enable.
