Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
C a u t i o n Deleting or changing the community named “public” prevents network man­
agement applications (such as auto-discovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP trap
generation, and threshold setting) from operating in the switch. (Changing or
deleting the “public” name also generates an Event Log message.) If security
for network management is a concern, it is recommended that you change the
write access for the “public” community to “Restricted”.
