You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration
parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed
Switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later,
Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.

3.5 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch,
such as SNMP Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up
Gold. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses
two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP
Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the
MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets
and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.
