Network Management Setup

You use the Network Management screens to display and modify parameters for the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an on-board SNMP agent that
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 on-board agent are controlled by community strings. To
communicate with the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for
authentication.

To configure SNMP

You can configure up to four community strings.
1. From the Main Menu, select Network Management | SNMP Configurations and press
Enter.
