Enabling SNMP Management Access
The switch can be configured to accept management commands from Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as HP OpenView. You can configure the
switch to respond to SNMP requests or generate SNMP traps.
When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to return
information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the requested data or sets the
specified parameter. The switch can also be configured to send information to SNMP
managers (without being requested by the managers) through trap messages, which
inform the manager that certain events have occurred.
The switch includes an SNMP agent that supports SNMP version 1, 2c, and 3 clients. To
provide management access for version 1 or 2c clients, you must specify a community
string. The switch provides a default MIB View (i.e., an SNMPv3 construct) for the default
“public” community string that provides read access to the entire MIB tree, and a default
view for the “private” community string that provides read/write access to the entire MIB
tree. However, you may assign new views to version 1 or 2c community strings that suit
your specific security requirements (see page 3-54).
Community Strings (for SNMP version 1 and 2c clients)
Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP version 1 and 2c
stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the switch.
You therefore need to assign community strings to specified users, and set the access
level.
