You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one
central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management

3.5 SNMP-based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMP
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 getting and setting community strings for the Managed Switch is public.
