Chapter 4: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Community Strings

68

Section I: Basic Operations

Note

You cannot change the name of a community string.

7. Configure the following parameters:

Status
Enable or disable the community string. A disabled community string
cannot be used to access the switch. The default is enabled.

Access Mode
Specify the access mode for the SNMP community string. If you
specify Read Only, you can use the community string to view but not
change the MIB objects on the switch. If you specify Read/Write, you
can use the community string to both view and change the SNMP MIB
objects.

Allow Any Station
Set the community string as opened or closed. If there is no check in
the box next to the option, the community string is closed; only those
workstations whose IP addresses are assigned to the community
string can use it. If there is a check in the box, the string has a status of
open, meaning any SNMP management workstation can use it to
access the switch.

Manager IP Address 1 through Manager IP Address 8
Specify the IP addresses of management workstations. If you gave the
community string a closed status, you can use these fields to specify
the IP addresses of up to eight management workstations that can use
the community string to manage the switch. Entering manager IP
addresses for a community string with an open status has no affect on
the community string.

Trap Receiver IP Address 1 through Trap Receiver IP Address 8
Specify the IP addresses of trap receivers. If you want the switch to
send traps to trap receivers on your network, such as your
management workstation, you can use these fields to enter the IP
addresses of up to eight trap receivers.

8. Click Apply.

The modified community string is now available on the switch.

9. To permanently save the changes, select the Save Config menu

option.
