You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the PoE Web Smart Switch configuration parameters from one central

location, just as if you were directly connected to the PoE Web Smart Switch's console port. Web Management requires either

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0

or later, Google Chrome, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.

3.4 SNMP-based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the PoE Web Smart Switch, such as SNMPc

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 Network 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 get and set community strings for the PoE Web Smart

Switch are public.
