Enabling SNMP Management Access The switch can be configured to accept management commands from Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as HP OpenView. You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP requests or (2) generate SNMP traps. When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to return information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the requested data or sets the specified parameter. The switch can also be configured to send information to SNMP managers (without being requested by the managers) through trap messages, which inform the manager that certain events have occurred. The switch includes an SNMP agent that supports SNMP version 1, 2c, and 3 clients. To provide management access for version 1 or 2c clients, you must specify a community string. The switch provides a default MIB View (i.e., an SNMPv3 construct) for the default "public" community string that provides read access to the entire MIB tree, and a default view for the "private" community string that provides read/write access to the entire MIB tree. However, you may assign new views to version 1 or 2c community strings that suit your specific security requirements (see page 3-45). Community Strings (for SNMP version 1 and 2c clients) Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP version 1 and 2c stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the switch. You therefore need to assign community strings to specified users, and set the access level. 2-6

Enabling SNMP Management Access

The switch can be configured to accept management commands from Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as HP OpenView. You

can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP requests or (2) generate SNMP

traps.

When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to return

information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the requested data or sets the

specified parameter. The switch can also be configured to send information to

SNMP managers (without being requested by the managers) through trap

messages, which inform the manager that certain events have occurred.

The switch includes an SNMP agent that supports SNMP version 1, 2c, and 3

clients. To provide management access for version 1 or 2c clients, you must specify

a community string. The switch provides a default MIB View (i.e., an SNMPv3

construct) for the default “public” community string that provides read access to the

entire MIB tree, and a default view for the “private” community string that provides

read/write access to the entire MIB tree. However, you may assign new views to

version 1 or 2c community strings that suit your specific security requirements (see

page 3-45).

Community Strings

(for SNMP version 1 and 2c clients)

Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP version 1 and

2c stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from

the switch. You therefore need to assign community strings to specified users, and

set the access level.
