Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User's Guide The SNMP allows up to four different community names to be defined. The community name public is defined by default; you can change this name in addition to adding others. You will need to coordinate these names with the community name settings you use in your network management system. Choose Community Strings and Trap Stations to access the third item on the main menu. The following screen appears: Figure 6-51. SNMP Manager Configuration screen The following SNMP Manager and Trap Manager Configuration parameters can be set: ♦ SNMP Community String/Trap Community String The community string that will be included on SNMP packets sent to and from the Switch. Any station not privy to this community will not receive the packet. ♦ Access Right Allows each community to be separately set to either Read Only, meaning that the community member can only view switch settings or Read/Write, which allows the member to change settings in the switch. ♦ Status/Trap Status Determines whether this community name entry is Valid or Invalid. An entry can be disabled by changing its status to Invalid. ♦ IP Address The IP address of the network management station to receive traps. Switch Monitoring The Switch uses an SNMP agent which monitors different aspects of network traffic. The SNMP agent keeps counters and statistics on the operation of the Switch itself, and on each port on the Switch. The statistics obtained can be used to monitor the conditions and general efficiency of the Switch. Using the Console Interface 91
