Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
The following parameters can be set:
— SNMP Community String—Displays the community string that is included on
SNMP request and traps sent to and from the GbE Interconnect Switch. If the
receiver of a request or trap does not recognize the community string, the request or
trap is ignored. SNMP allows up to four community strings to be defined. The
community strings “public” and “private” are defined by default. You can change the
strings in addition to adding others. You must coordinate these strings with the
community string settings you use in your network management system.
— Access Right—Allows each community string received by the GbE Interconnect
Switch to be separately set to either Read Only, meaning that the community
member can only view switch settings, or Read/Write, which allows the member to
change settings in the GbE Interconnect Switch.
— Status—Determines whether this community string entry is Valid or Invalid. An
entry can be disabled by changing its status to Invalid.
— IP Address—Displays the IP address of the network management station designated
to receive traps.
— Security IP—Allows you to create a list of IP addresses that are allowed to access
the GbE Interconnect Switch by means of SNMP, Telnet, or the Web.

in this chapter.
