3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and m
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What's Up Gold. This management method requires the SN
agent on the 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-w
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 getting and setting community strings for the Managed Switch is public.
