By default, SNMPv2 community strings on most devices are set to public for the read-only
community string and private for the read-write community string. Legacy Brocade devices may
use other community strings by default.

Brocade recommends SNMPv3 be used for device management, as it provides both
encryption, and authentication.

Enabling SNMP traps can provide alerts for isolated attacks at both small radio deployments or
distributed attacks occurring across multiple sites.
