System Location:

The community-string, community-access, and IP address can be configured through the local terminal during the initial configuration procedure.

The SNMP configuration options for the Community String are as follows:

Access rights options: ro (read only), rw (read-and-write) or su (super).

An option to configure IP address or not: If an IP address is not configured, it means that all community mem- bers having the same community name are granted the same access rights.

Common practice is to use two community strings for the switch one (public community) with read-only access and the other (private community) with read-write access. The public string allows authorized management sta- tions to retrieve MIB objects, while the private string allows authorized management stations to retrieve and mod- ify MIB objects.

During initial configuration, it is recommended to configure the device according to the network administrator requirements, in accordance with using an SNMP-based management station.

To configure SNMP station IP address and community string(s) perform the following:

1.At the console prompt, enter the command Enable. The prompt is displayed as #.

2.Enter the command configure and press <Enter>.

3.In the configuration mode, enter the SNMP configuration command with the parameters including community name (private), community access right (read and write) and IP address, as shown in the following example:
