SNMP Community Settings

Use the Community Strings screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). The Switch includes an on-board SNMP agent that monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic
passing through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used
to access this information. Access rights to the on-board agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with
the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication.
The following window is used to configure the community strings authorized for management access. Up to 4 community
names may be entered.
Items on the screen above include:
Community String – A string of up to 20 characters used for authentication of users wanting access to the
Switch's SNMP agent.
