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