Table 12-1. SNMP Community Features
Use SNMP communities to restrict access to the switch by SNMP management
stations by adding, editing, or deleting SNMP communities. You can configure
up to five SNMP communities, each with either an operator-level or a manager-
level view, and either restricted or unrestricted write access.
Using SNMP requires that the switch have an IP address and subnet mask
compatible with your network.
