70 Configuring & Monitoring the Switch VH-2402S
Setting SNMP Management Access
Access to the VH-2402S 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. Access for community names can be set to
READ/WRITE or READ ONLY access. The default “Public” community
name allows READ ONLY access to the device via SNMP, whereas the
default “Private” community name allows READ/WRITE access.
The VH-2402S switch can send SNMP messages called traps to SNMP
management stations when an important event occurs with the switch.
The switch allows up to five destinations to be configured for these trap
messages to be sent.
To configure SNMP access for the switch, do the following:
1. Select Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select SNMP Configuration Menu.
3. Select SNMP Communities from the menu. Enter the desired
community names (you are permitted to enter from one to 20
characters) and set access to READ/WRITE or READ ONLY.
4. Select IP Trap Managers from the SNMP Configuration Menu.
5. Enter appropriate IP addresses for the Trap destinations.
6. For each Trap destination entered, a corresponding access
community name should be entered.
