Managing Your Remote Console Switch Using the On-board Web Interface

In the SNMP category, you can enter system information and community

strings. You may also designate which stations can manage the Remote

Console Switch as well as receive SNMP traps from the switch. For more

information on traps, see "Enabling Individual SNMP Traps" on page 111 in

this chapter. If you check Enable SNMP, the unit will respond to SNMP

requests over UDP port 161.

NOTE:

The on-board web interface does not use standard SNMP to control

switches and therefore does not use UDP port 161. The on-board web interface

uses a secure, proprietary protocol to communicate with the Remote Console

Switches over a different network port.

Figure 6-5. SNMP Configuration Window

To configure general SNMP settings:

1 Click the Configure tab in the on-board web interface, then click the

SNMP category in the left column.

2 Click to enable the Enable SNMP check box to allow the Remote Console

Switch to respond to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.

3 Type the system’s fully qualified domain name in the Name field, as well as

a node contact person in the

System section.
