Assigning SNMP Parameters

Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for

the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes

an 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 switch 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.
