SNMP
This section describes how to configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
version 1 and SNMP version 2 information on the switch. For information about configuring
the SNMPv3 administrative profile, see Use SNMPv3 on page 21.

SNMPV1/V2

The screens under the SNMPV1/V2 link allow you to configure SNMPv1/v2 community
information, traps, and trap flags.

Configure the SNMP Community

By default, two SNMP Communities exist:
•Private, with Read/Write privileges and status set to Enable.
•Public, with Read Only privileges and status set to Enable.
These are well-known communities. Use this screen to change the defaults or to add other
communities. Only the communities that you define using this screen will have access to the
switch using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols. Only those communities with read/write
level access can be used to change the configuration using SNMP.
Use this screen when you are using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocol.
To add an SNMP community:
1. Select System SNMP SNMP V1/V2 Community Configuration.
The Community Configuration screen displays.
2. Next to Management Station IP, specify the IP address of the management station.
3. Next to Management Station IP Mask, specify the subnet mask to associate with the
management station IP address.
Together, the Management Station IP and the Management Station IP Mask denote a
range of IP addresses from which SNMP clients can use that community to access this
device. If either (Management Station IP or Management Station IP Mask) value is
0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP address. Otherwise, every client’s address is
ANDed with the mask, as is the Management Station IP Address; and, if the values are
equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Management Station IP and Management
Station IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client whose
address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access. To allow
