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 8.0 or later, Google Chrome, 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 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 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.
