Use SNMP communities to restrict access to the switch by SNMP management
stations by adding, editing, or deleting SNMP communities. You can configure
up to five SNMP communities, each with either an operator-level or a manager-
level view, and either restricted or unrestricted write access.
Using SNMP requires that the switch have an IP address and subnet mask
compatible with your network.
For ProCurve Manager (PCM) version 1.5 or earlier (or any TopTools version),
deleting the "public" community disables some network management
functions (such as traffic monitoring, SNMP trap generation, and threshold
setting). If network management security is a concern, and you are using the
above software versions, ProCurve recommends that you change the write
access for the "public" community to "Restricted".
