Figure 33 Switch Firmware Update wizard 10. To complete the wizard, choose one of the following options: • To confirm and proceed with the firmware update, click Finish. • To change your selections for the firmware update, click Back. • To stop the firmware update, click Cancel. If you clicked Finish, a message may inform you that the switch firmware is ready to be updated. The process takes several minutes per switch and cannot be canceled. Also, switch traffic may be temporarily disrupted. 11. Click Yes when prompted to update the switch firmware. Setting switch SNMP properties Use the SNMP Properties dialog box to define how authentication traps are managed and set for the switch. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol that governs network management and monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write community string, which are basically the passwords that control read and write access to the switch. 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. 58 Managing switches

Setting switch SNMP properties
Use the SNMP Properties dialog box to define how authentication traps are managed and set for the
switch. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol that governs network management
and monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write
community string, which are basically the passwords that control read and write access to the switch.
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.
