Configuration Using the Web Interface
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol to exchange
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member
of the
TCP/IP protocol suite. The ES7510 supports SNMP v1 and v2c and v3.
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents
and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides
in a managed switch. An agent translates the local management
information from the managed device into a SNMP compatible format.
The manager is the console through the network.
The following web pages are included in this group:
• SNMP Configuration
• SNMP V3 Profile on Page 101
• SNMP Traps on Page 102
Optionally, you can use the CLI for configuration, see SNMP (CLI) on
Page 169.
SNMP Configuration
Use this page to configure the SNMP v1/v2c Community. The community string can be viewed as the
password because SNMP v1/v2c does not request you to enter a password before you try to access the SNMP
agent.
The community includes two privileges:
• Read Only privilege, you only have the ability to read the values of MIB tables. The default community
string is public.
• Read and Write privilege, you have the ability to read and set the values of MIB tables. The default
community string is private.
The ES7510 allows you to assign four community strings. Type
the community string, select the privilege, and then click Apply.
Note: When you first install the device in your network, we
recommend that you change the community string. Most
SNMP management applications use public and private
as the default community name, this could be a network
security leak.
