SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to
configure and manage the switch. This management method
requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP
Network Management Station to use the same community
string. This management method, in fact, uses two
community strings: the get community string and the set
community string. If the SNMP Network management station
only knows the set community string, it can read and write to
the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string,
it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community
strings for the switch are public.
