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 includes 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 is defined by default;

will need to coordinate these names with the community name
settings you use in your network management system.
