SETTING SNMP SYSTEM AND COMMUNITY STRINGS
To manage the switch through SNMP, you must first enable the protocol
and configure the basic access parameters.
You can configure community strings authorized for management access
by clients using SNMP v1 and v2c. All community strings used for IP Trap
Receivers should be listed in this table. For security reasons, you should
consider removing the default strings.
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are displayed on the SNMP Setting page:
◆ SNMP Status - Enables or disables SNMP service. (Default: Disabled)
◆ System Name – A name assigned to the switch system.
◆ System Location – Specifies the system location.
◆ System Contact – An administrator responsible for the system.
◆ String – A community string that acts like a password and permits
access to the SNMP protocol.
Default strings: “public” (read-only access), “private” (read-write
access)
Range: 1-32 characters, case sensitive
◆ Type – Specifies the access rights for the community string:
■
Read-Only – Authorized management stations are only able to
retrieve MIB objects.
■
Read-Write – Authorized management stations are able to both
retrieve and modify MIB objects.
