Setting SNMP Management Access

Access to the ELS100-24TXM 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. The switch uses two community names. The
"Public" community name allows read-only access to the device via
SNMP. The "Private" community name allows read/write access.
The ELS100-24TXM switch can send SNMP messages called traps to
SNMP management stations when an important event occurs with the
switch. The switch allows up to four destinations to be configured for
these trap messages to be sent.
To configure SNMP access for the switch, do the following:
1. Select System Configuration Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select SNMP Configuration Menu.
3. Select SNMP Private Community Name from the menu and enter the
desired read/write access community name (you are permitted to
enter from one to 10 characters).
4. Select SNMP Public Community Name and enter the desired read-
only community name (you are permitted to enter from one to 10
characters).
5. Select one or more Trap Destination entries from the menu and enter
the appropriate IP addresses.
6. For each trap destination entered, a corresponding community name
should be entered.
