SNMP Configuration
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify
parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The switch includes an SNMP agent which monitors the status of its
hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A computer
attached to the network, called a Network Management Station
(NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the
switch are controlled by community strings. To communicate with
the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for
authentication. The options for configuring community strings and
related trap functions are described in the following figures and table.
