Assigning Snmp Parameters; Configuring Community Names - SMC Networks 6724L2 - annexe 1 Management Manual

Assigning SNMP Parameters

Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify
parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The switch includes an onboard 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 agent module 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.

Configuring Community Names

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