SNMP Community Table Settings
This window is used to create an SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager and
an agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the Switch. One or more of the
following characteristics can be associated with the community string:
• An access list containing IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string to
gain access to the Switch’s SNMP agent.
• Any MIB view that defines the subset of MIB objects that will be accessible to the SNMP community.
• Read-write or read-only level permissions for the MIB objects accessible to the SNMP community.
To view the following window, click Management > SNMP > SNMP Community Table Settings, as shown below:
