Figure 65: System Contact and Community Authentication Information
The Community Authentication Information fields specify community strings, which allow a simple
method of authentication between the switch and the remote Network Manager. The default read-only
community string is
public. The default read-write community string is private. Each community
string can have a maximum of 127 characters, and can be enclosed by double quotation marks.
Trap Information
As shown in Figure 66, the lower section of the SNMP window allows you to enable SNMP and
configure trap receivers.
To enable SNMP trap support, click the checkbox and submit the request.
If authorized trap receivers are currently configured on the network, the Trap Station Configuration
table lists the community string and IP address or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port of the trap
receivers.
The last two boxes in the section allow you to add a trap receiver or to delete a trap receiver. For further
information on SNMP and trap receivers, see “Using SNMP” on page 48.
