Configuring the SNMP Community Strings
The procedures in this section are used to set the three SNMP community
strings Get, Set, and Trap on the management card. The strings are used
to manage the media converter with an SNMP application and for trap
verification. To protect the card from unauthorized access, you should
change the community strings even if you do not plan to employ an SNMP
application. Anyone who learns the device’s IP address and community
strings can alter its settings with an SNMP program, without having to
know the manager account password.
