Setting SNMP Management Access
Access to the switch through SNMP is controlled by community names. The
community names set for the switch must match those used by the SNMP
management station for successful communication to occur. The switch uses
two community names. The “Public” community name allows read-only access
to the device via SNMP. The “Private” community name allows read/write
access.
Switches can send SNMP messages called traps to SNMP management stations
when an important event occurs with the switch. The switch allows up to four
destinations to be configured for these trap messages to be sent.
To configure SNMP access for the switch, do the following:
1.
Select System Configuration Menu from the Main Menu.
2.
Select SNMP Configuration Menu.
3.
Select SNMP Private Community Name from the menu and enter the
desired read/write access Community name (you are permitted to enter
from one to 10 characters).
4.
Select SNMP Public Community Name and enter the desired read-only
community name (you are permitted to enter from one to 10 characters).
5.
Select one or more Trap Destination entries from the menu and enter the
appropriate IP addresses.
6.
Enter a corresponding community name for each trap destination entered.
