CAUTION: The read community string ("public") and write community string ("private") are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed if SNMP is enabled. If SNMP is enabled (default) and the read and write community strings have not been changed from their defaults, you risk unwanted access to the switch. It is very important that you consider how you want to manage the fabric and what switches you do not want managed through another switch. To set the switch SNMP properties: 1. To access the SNMP Properties, choose one of the following options: • On the HBA & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch SNMP Properties. (If you have more than one switch in your SAN, the Switch Selection dialog box prompts you to select a switch, and then click OK.) • In the content pane's Physical Connection map, right-click a specific switch icon, and then on the shortcut menu, click Set Switch SNMP Properties. The SNMP Properties dialog box (Figure 35) opens. Figure 35 SNMP Properties NOTE: Because Read Community, Write Community, and Trap Community settings are like passwords, they are write-only fields and the current settings are not shown. Illegal characters are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,). 2. In the top section, SNMP Configuration, define how authentication traps are managed by completing the following settings. SNMP Enabled Contact Select this check box to allow SNMP communication with other switches in the fabric. Clear this check box to prevent an SNMP application at a workstation to talk to this switch. Enter the name (maximum 64 characters) of the contact person who responds to trap events. The default is sysContact undefined. 60 Managing switches
