SNMP Configuration
By default, SNMPv2 is enabled on the switch and the ClearPass appliance. No changes to the default
settings are required to enable the SNMP bounce of the switch port upon an OnGuard failure action. If

community strings per the Dell Networking 7000 Series Switch User’s Configuration Guide.
