messages to be sent to SNMP management stations when unauthorized
stations try to access SNMP information from the switch.
4. Click a field in the Community Name column to select the row. Enter the
SNMP community name for the trap recipient. Enter up to 32 characters. This
also defines community names from which SNMP managers can read MIB
variables from, or write MIB variables to, the switch. See the first note under
“
Configuring an SNMP Agent ” on page 128 for more information about MIB
variables.
5. Choose the Fibre Alliance MIB version supported on the switch by clicking
on the drop-down list in the top right corner of the dialog box. Choices are 3.0

6. Click the Write Authorization check box to enable write authorization for
the community name. A check mark displays in the box to indicate that write
authorization is enabled.
