3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the LRP Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What's Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management
method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Net-work
management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get
community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the LRP Managed Switch are public.
