SNMP Manager Configuration
The Switch sends out SNMP traps to network management
stations whenever certain exceptional events occur, such
as when the Switch is turned on or when a system reset
occurs. The Switch allows traps to be routed to up to four
different network management hosts.
For a detail list of Trap Types used for this Switch, see
Chapter 5, Switch Management Concepts, Traps section.
SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of
security by requiring that each request includes a
community name. A community name is an arbitrary string
of characters used as a “password” to control access to the
Switch. If the Switch receives a request with a community
name it does not recognize, it will trigger an
authentication trap.
The SNMP allows up to four different community names to
be defined. The community name
public
is defined by
default; you can change this name in addition to adding
others. You will need to coordinate these names with the
community name settings you use in your network
management system.
