SNMP

The SNMP window is divided into two sections. The top section allows you to enter system group

to set the configuration associated with SNMP traps.

As shown in Figure 58, this portion of the SNMP window allows you to set:

Contact

—A text field that enables you to enter the contact information of the person responsible for

managing the switch.

model name of the switch (for example, Summit 200-24 switch).

method of authentication between the switch and the remote Network Manager. The default read-only
community string is

string can have a maximum of 127 characters, and can be enclosed by double quotation marks.
