Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
To use SNMP to manage the SSR 2100, you need to set up an SNMP community on the
SSR 2100. Otherwise, the SSR 2100’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until
you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access
the SNMP traps issued by the SSR 2100’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address
