CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
CLI – This example creates trunk 1 with ports 11 and 12. Just connect these ports to two static trunk ports on another switch to form a trunk.

Configuring SNMP
The switch includes an onboard agent that continuously monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports, based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). A network management station can access this information using management software. Access rights to the onboard agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the management station must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are described in the following sections.
