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.
The SNMP allows up to four different community names to be defined. The community name
default; you 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.
