Setting SNMP Management Access

11.6 SETTING SNMP MANAGEMENT ACCESS
Access to the switch through SNMP is controlled by community names. The community names set
for the switch must match those used by the SNMP management station for successful
communication to occur. Access for community names can be set to READ/WRITE or READ
ONLY access. The default "Public" community name allows READ ONLY access to the device
via SNMP, whereas the default "Private" community name allows READ/WRITE access.
The switch can send SNMP messages called traps to SNMP management stations when an
important event occurs with the switch. The switch allows up to five destinations to be configured
for these trap messages to be sent.
To configure SNMP access for the switch, proceed as follows:
1. Select Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select SNMP Configuration Menu.
3. Select SNMP Communities from the menu. Enter the desired community names (you are
permitted to enter from 1 to 20 characters) and set access to READ/WRITE or READ ONLY.
4. Select IP Trap Managers from the SNMP Configuration Menu.
5. Enter appropriate IP addresses for the Trap destinations.
6. For each Trap destination entered, a corresponding access community name should be entered.
