Authentication

Purpose

SNMP is a fully defined, interoperative standard that helps you man-

 

age both the switch and the network. To do this you can:

 

Specify the names of the hosts to access the SNMP agent on the

 

 

switch (authentication) by defining the source IP and community

 

Specify read-write or read-only for authenticated hosts

 

Request a trap to be sent if authentication is violated

 

Note If no hosts are defined in the Authentication List, any host

 

 

can access the SNMP agent in the switch.
