3.5 SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed PoE+ Switch, such as SNMP Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What's Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the Managed PoE+ 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 getting and setting community strings for the Managed PoE+
Switch is public.
