3.4 SNMP-based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the GEPON OLT, such as SNMPc Network

Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP

agent on the 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 gets and sets community strings for the GEPON OLT are public.
