Simple Network Management Protocol Configuration
This section describes the following tasks:
 Managing the SNMP Service
 Displaying SNMP Information
 Modifying the SNMP Configuration
 Resetting the SNMP Configuration
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides for the management
of the switch through third-party applications that use SNMP. Security consists of
a read community string and a write community string that serve as passwords
that control read and write access to the switch. These strings are set at the
factory to well-known defaults and should be changed if SNMP is to be enabled.
