2.10 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The SNMP Configuration Menu allows the user to configure the unit’s read and write community strings, and to enable or disable authentication traps. This menu also allows the user to specify which of the network management stations will receive traps from the switch.
The r option in the Configuration Menu displays the Protocol Configuration page. From there, select n to display the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Configuration Menu, as shown below.
