Community Strings and Trap Stations

The Switch sends out SNMP traps to network management stations whenever certain exceptional events
occur, such as when the Switch is turned on or when a system reset occurs. The Switch allows traps to be
routed to up to four different network management hosts.
For a detailed list of trap types used for this Switch, see the Traps section in the "Switch Management
Concepts" chapter.
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.
