Host Table

From the SNMP Host Table page, you can add and remove hosts from
access rights that have been granted to community groups. The permissions
GET, SET, and TRAP are assigned to a community name and then these
permissions are assigned to individual machines by adding those machines
and their IP address to the appropriate community string. Host
authorization can be enabled or disabled.
If the host authorization is disabled (the default setting), the switch allows
any SNMP manager to access the switch. If the host authorization is
enabled, the administrator can specify up to 16 SNMP managers on the
host table that can access the switch.
You must enable host authorization before you can use the host table. This
feature blocks users who are not listed in the host table from accessing the
switch.
Once you have enabled host authorization, you must add the host to this
table through the console port connection. Otherwise, the switch cannot
access the end station using SNMP .
The following fields are available:
• Host Name — User-defined name of the SNMP host.
• Host IP Address — IP address of the SNMP host authorized to
communicate with the switch via SNMP .
• Community — Name of the SNMP community of which the host is a
member.
