Assigning SNMP Parameters
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes
an on-board SNMP agent which monitors the status of its hardware, as
well as the traffic passing through its ports. A computer attached to the
network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to
access this information. Access rights to the on-board agent are
controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the
NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The
options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are
described in the following sections.
