• private - with read-write access. Authorized management stations are

able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects.

Note: If you do not intend to use SNMP, it is recommended that you

delete both of the default community strings. If there are no

community strings, then SNMP management access to the switch

is disabled.

To prevent unauthorized access to the switch via SNMP, it is

recommended that you change the default community strings.

To configure a community string, complete the following steps:

1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt,

type “snmp-server community string mode,” where string is the

community access string and mode is rw (read/write) or ro (read only).

Press <Enter>.

2. To remove an existing string, simply type “no snmp-server community

string,” where string is the community access string to remove. Press

<Enter>.

Trap Receivers

You can also specify SNMP stations that are to receive trap messages from

the switch.

To configure a trap receiver, complete the following steps:

1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt,

type “snmp-server host host-address community-string,” where host-address

is the IP address for the trap receiver and community-string is the string

associated with that host. Press <Enter>.
