700 Series Managed Switch User’s Guide for Software v2.1
2-4 Switch Management Overview
SM-10004-02
This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station to use the same community string and that the SNMP Network Management
Station is entered in the SNMP Host table on the switch. This management method, in fact, uses
two community strings: the GET community string and the SET community string. If the SNMP
Network management Station only knows the SET community string, it can read from and write to
the MIBs. However, if it only knows the GET community string, it can only read MIBs. The
default GET community string for the switch is ‘public’, and the host table is empty.
