3.5 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Industrial Managed Switch, such as SNMP
Network Manager, HP Open view Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the
SNMP agent on the Industrial Managed Switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community
string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string.
If the SNMP Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it
only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default getting and setting community strings for the Industrial
Managed Switch are public.
