6.4 ASSIGNING SNMP PARAMETERS
Use the SNMP Configuration Menu screen ( Figure 6-7 ) 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 sections.
