Using the Web Console
attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this
information. Access rights to the on-board agent are controlled by community strings. To
communicate with the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for
authentication.
To configure SNMP community strings
You can configure up to four community strings for SNMP authentication.
1. In the left panel, click Network Management.
2. In the top panel, click SNMP Community Setup.
3. Configure these fields.
4. Click Apply.
To configure trap recipients
The trap recipient screen allows you to specify which management stations will receive
authentication failure messages or other trap messages from the switch. Up to three trap recipients
may be entered.
1. In the left panel, click Network Management.
2. In the top panel, click SNMP Trap Recipients.
3. Configure these fields.
4. Click Apply.
