Assigning SNMP
Parameters
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters
for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch
includes an on-board SNMP agent which monitors the status of its
hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A computer
attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS),
can be used to access this information. Access rights to the on-board
agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the
switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for
authentication. The options for configuring community strings and
related trap functions are described in the following figures and table:
Name Description
Send Authentication Fail
Traps Issue a trap message to specified IP trap
managers whenever authentication of
an SNMP request fails. (The default is
enabled.)
SNMP Communities Assigns SNMP access based on specified
community strings.
IP Trap Managers Specifies management stations that will
receive authentication failure messages
or other trap messages from the switch.
