Status

Success means port trunking is working properly.

 

Fail means port trunking is not working properly.

 

Standby means port trunking is working as a standby port. When there

 

are more than eight ports trunked as a trunking group, the 9th port will

Configuring SNMP

The EDS-510A supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3. SNMP V1, and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private (default value). SNMP V3, which requires you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol. You can also enable data encryption to enhance data security.

SNMP security modes and security levels supported by the EDS-510A are shown in the following table. Select the security mode and level that will be used to communicate between the SNMP agent and manager.
