❑ Community strings — The community strings allow a simple
method of authentication between the switch and the remote
Network Manager. There are two types of community strings
on the switch. Read community strings provide read-only
access to the switch. The default read-only community string
is public. Read-write community strings provide read and
write access to the switch. The default read-write community
string is private. A total of eight community strings can be
configured on the switch. The community string for all
authorized trap receivers must be configured on the switch for
the trap receiver to receive switch-generated traps. SNMP
community strings can contain up to 126 characters.
❑ System contact (optional) — The system contact is a text field
that enables you to enter the name of the person(s)
responsible for managing the switch.
❑ System name — The system name is the name that you have
assigned to this switch. The default name is the model name
of the switch (for example, Summit1).
