12-5.1 Configuration
Security > SNMP > Configuration
This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function is
used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well
as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying
both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device.
So, both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click button, the
setting takes effect.
SNMP Configuration Parameters:
Read Community: Indicates the community read access string to permit access to SNMP agent. The
allowed string length is 1 to 31, and the allowed content is the ASCII characters from 33 to 126. The
field is applicable only when SNMP version is SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c. If SNMP version is SNMPv3, the
community string will be associated with SNMPv3 communities table. It provides more flexibility to
configure security name than a SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community string. In addition to community
string, a particular range of source addresses can be used to restrict source subnet
