M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Configure SNMP You can configure SNMP settings for SNMP V1/V2 and SNMPv3. Configure the SNMP V1/V2 Community By default, two SNMP communities exist: • Private, with read/write privileges and status set to Enable. • Public, with read-only privileges and status set to Enable. These are well-known communities. You can change the defaults or to add other communities. Only the communities that you define can access to the switch using the SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 protocols. Only those communities with read/write level access can be used to change the configuration using SNMP. Note: If you want to use SNMP v3, use the User Accounts menu. To configure the SNMP V1/V2 community: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4. Select System > SNMP > SNMP V1/V2 > Community Configuration. 5. Use Community Name to reconfigure an existing community, or to create a new one. Use this menu to select one of the existing community names, or select 'Create' to add a new one. A valid entry is a case-sensitive string of up to 16 characters.
