Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
To use SNMP to manage the XP-2000, you need to set up an SNMP community on the XP-2000.
Otherwise, the XP-2000’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until you disable it using
the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the
XP-2000’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.
To add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps, take the following steps:
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
