application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). You can change the default
Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking
address scheme.
In addition, you can also set an IP Address for a gateway router. This
becomes necessary when the network management station is located
on a different IP network as the Switch, making it necessary for
management packets to go through a router to reach the network
manager, and vice-versa.
For security, you can set in the Switch a list of IP Addresses of the
network managers that you allow to manage the Switch. You can
also change the default Community Name in the Switch and set
access rights of these Community Names.

Traps

Traps are messages that alert you of events that occur on the Switch.
The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned
OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The
Switch generates traps and sends them to the network manager (trap
managers). The following lists the types of events that can take place
on the Switch.
System resets
Errors
