SNMP Configuration

Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes
an on-board SNMP agent which 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
options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are
described in the following figures and table.

SNMP Community

The following figure and table describe how to configure the community
strings authorized for management access. Up to 5 community names
