SettingDescription

Community The community strings allow a simple method of authentication between the

stringsapplication switch and the remote Network Manager. There are two types of community strings on the application switch.

■Read community strings provide read-only access to the application switch. The default read-only community string is public.

■Read-write community strings provide read and write access to the application switch. The default read-write community string is private.

A total of eight community strings can be configured on the application switch. The community string for all authorized trap receivers must be configured on the application switch for the trap receiver to receive.

Syntax:

*SummitPx1:16 # config snmp add community readonly <string>

*SummitPx1:17 # config snmp add community readwrite <string>

Authorized An authorized trap receiver can be one or more network management stations trap receivers on your network. The application switch sends SNMP traps to all trap

receivers. You can have a maximum of 16 trap receivers configured for each application switch.

Syntax:

* SummitPx1:17 #config snmp add trapreceiver <ipaddress>

Optionally, you can change the IP port to which traps are sent if the server is running the syslog process on a non-standard port:

*SummitPx1:17 #config snmp add trapreceiver <ipaddress> community <string> port <number>
