that any SNMP client must use to write settings to the SNMP agent on the MSA
Fabric Switch 6. This name can be any ASCII string desired. The factory default is
“private.”

menu. The SNMP Trap community string is the password that any SNMP client must
use to poll the SNMP agent on the MSA Fabric Switch 6 for SNMP traps. This name
can be any desired ASCII string. The factory default is “SNMP_trap.”
To change the SNMP Trap Community string, type the new name at the command
prompt and press the Enter key.
