CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508
Access Host
Use the Access Host screen to specify subnet groups from which the switch’s
management agent can be accessed. The screen shown below is described in the
following table.
Parameter Description
Access IP Net An IP address of a subnet authorized for management access.
Access IP Mask A subnet mask that identifies the host address bits of the subnet.
Add/Remove Add/remove strings from the active list.
SNMP Configuration
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an on-board
SNMP agent which monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic
passing through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network
Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights
to the on-board agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with
the switch, the NMS 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.
SNMP Administration Enable
Access to the management agent from SNMP-based network management
software can be enabled/disabled from this screen.
Clearing the checkbox disables the SNMP protocol in the agent so that the switch
can only be managed through the Web-based interface or a direct connection to
the serial port. Note that even when SNMP Administration is disabled, the agent
will continue to issue SNMP trap messages.
