3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Wall-mount 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 Wall-mount 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 Wall-mount Managed Switch are public.
