Assigning SNMP Parameters
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 sections.
