This command configures the community string the switch will recognize on all SNMP read (Get) requests. The string can be from 1 to 32 characters. Any character with a legal keyboard representation is allowed.
Enter READ community string:
Current setting ===> public
New setting ===> Techs
Remember that all SNMP traps are case sensitive, so you will want to have your SNMP
configurations well documented to reduce human error. Once your community string has been set you
will return to the previous menu.

Choose [X] to exit from the previous menu. We will now configure a Write Manager to allow write
access to the SNMP log files and MIB objects. Select [W] from the Network Management SNMP
configuration menu, and then [A] from the Network Management (SNMP) WRITE Configuration
menu. Your screen should look like the following:

SNMP Write Manager is the management station allowed to issue write (Set) requests to the switch. Addresses or names for up to 4 such stations can be defined. If no names or addresses are defined then any management station can set the switch MIB objects.
Enter First Write Manager name or IP address:
Current setting ===>
New setting ===> 63.78.39.84

Notice that we have selected the Write Manager management station with the IP address 63.78.39.84.
This will be the only client that has write access to the MIB objects and log files. After entering this
information your screen will refresh and should look like this:
