Snmp Communities Features - HP J3245A Installation And Configuration Manual

SNMP Communities Features

Enables you to add, edit, or delete SNMP communities. Use this feature if you
expect to manage the switch from an SNMP management station. 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. (For
more on this topic, refer to chapter 5, "Using SNMP To Monitor and Manage
the Switch", and to the online Help.)

C a u t i o n
Deleting the community named "public" disables many network management
functions (such as auto-discovery, traffic monitoring, and threshold setting).
If security for network management is a concern, it is recommended that you
change the write access for the "public" community to "Restricted".
How To Configure for SNMP Communities.
Ensure that the switch has been configured for IP and/or IPX.
