The SNMP Configuration Menu allows the user to configure the unit’s read and write community strings, and

management stations will receive traps from the switch.
The r option in the Configuration Menu displays the Protocol Configuration page. From there, select n to
display the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Configuration Menu, as shown below.
