memory, which is the default setting) or remotely over the network. You can change the bootstrap
configuration from this menu. See Appendix F. BootP Configuration for more information.
3.6 SNMP Configuration
The SNMP Configuration Menu allows you to configure the unit’s read and write community strings, and to
enable or disable authentication traps. This menu also allows you to specify which of your network
management stations will receive traps from the switch.
The n option in the Configuration Menu displays the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Configuration Menu, as shown below.
