3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Industrial L2+ Managed Switch, such as
SNMP Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or Whats Up Gold. This management method
requires the SNMP agent on the Industrial L2+ Managed Switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the
same community string. 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 and write to the MIBs. However, if it
only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Industrial L2+
Managed Switch are public.
