You can configure SNMP settings for SNMP V1/V2 and SNMPv3.

Configure the SNMP V1/V2 Community

By default, two SNMP communities exist:
Private, with read/write privileges and status set to Enable.
•
Public, with read-only privileges and status set to Enable.
•
These are well-known communities. You can change the defaults or to add other
communities. Only the communities that you define can access to the switch using the SNMP
V1 and SNMP V2 protocols. Only those communities with read/write level access can be
used to change the configuration using SNMP.
If you want to use SNMP v3, use the User Accounts menu.
