3.5 SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Industrial Managed Switch, such as SNMPc
Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What's Up Gold. This management method requires
the SNMP agent on the Industrial Managed Switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community
string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community
string. If the SNMP Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs.
However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the
Industrial Managed Switch are public.
