4-6 Configuring the Switch
v1.0, October 2007
• T3: Link Up/Down – The switch generates an SNMP trap when one of its ports changes its
link status
You can specify the SNMP management station that can access the MIB of the switch and to
which the switch will send the trap. When adding a management station, be aware that:
• You can specify up to four management station IP addresses.
• The switch will respond only to requests from a computer or management station with an IP
address that is in the list.
• You can also select the traps that the switch will send to the hosts when the trap events you
specify occur.
To add a management station:
1. Select System > SNMP. The SNMP V1/V2 screen will display.
2. In the Management Station field, enter the IP address of the management station.
3. In the Community String field, specify the community string. The switch processes requests
from the management station only if the community string in the request packet matches the
community string entered here.
4. From the Access Mode pull-down menu, select the access privilege for the management
station:
• Read Only (for GET and GETNEXT requests).
• Read Write (for GET, GETNEXT, and SET requests).
5. From the Trap(T2) pull-down menu, select Enable if you want the switch to generate the
SNMP cold Start trap when it reboots; otherwise select Disable.
6. From the Trap(T3) pull-down menu, select Enable if you want the switch to generate the
SNMP linkUp and linkDown trap when one of its ports changes its link status.
7. From the Status pull-down menu, select Enable or Disable to specify the administration
status. A managed station or host is not active until it is set to Enable.
8. Click Add to add a management station.
To delete a management station:
Select the entry you want to delete and click Delete.
To modify an entry:
1. Select the checkbox by the entry you want to modify. The fields available for modifying will
appear at the top of the table.
