Enabling SNMP Management Access
The switch can be configured to accept management commands
from Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications.
You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP requests or
(2) generate SNMP traps.
When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch
(either to return information or to set a parameter), the switch
provides the requested data or sets the specified parameter. The
switch can also be configured to send information to SNMP
managers (without being requested by the managers) through trap
messages, which inform the manager that certain events have
occurred.
Community Strings
Community strings are used to control management access to
SNMP stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive
trap messages from the switch. You therefore need to assign
community strings to specified users or user groups, and set the
access level.
