SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMPc 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 gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.
