SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of security by
requiring that each request include a community name. A
community name is an arbitrary string of characters used as a
"password" to control access to the Switch. If the Switch receives a
request with a community name it does not recognize, it will
trigger an authentication trap.
The SNMP allows up to four different community names to be
defined. The community name
can change this name in addition to adding others. You will need
to coordinate these names with the community name settings you
use in your network management system.
Choose SNMP Configuration from the main menu to access the
following screen:
