SNMP Configuration

This set of screens configures the Switch to become an active SNMP agent. There are several sub-menus available:

•System Options

•Community Strings

•Trap Managers

System Options

This sub-menu is used to specify the System Name, Contact and Location. This information can be useful when querying a Switch from a network management station.

Community Strings

In the SNMP Community Menu, it is possible to create or edit communities and customize their access rights.

When the rights value is Read Only, this enables SNMP requests accompanied by this community string to display MIB variable information.

When the rights value is Read/Write this enables SNMP requests accompanied by this community string to display and set MIB variable information.

Trap Managers

A trap manager is a network management station (NMS) that receives traps from distributed SNMP devices. The Switch will generate trap messages when a fault condition is detected. Create a trap manager by entering the IP address of the NMS and a community string.
