Defining SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run local software (agent).
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The
MIB presents the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format as well as the format used to access the information
over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the device, the Embedded Web Server submits a valid community
string for authentication.
The default community strings for the PowerConnect device are:
Public— Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
l
Private—Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.
l
If SNMP is not used:
Change the default community strings to prevent unauthorized access to the PowerConnect device.
l
Delete both of the default community strings. SNMP management access to the PowerConnect device is disabled if no community strings exist.
l
To delete the strings:
NOTE:
To use the configure context, users must be assigned a privilege level of 15.
1. Type Enable. The prompt displays the "#" sign.
2. Type configure and press <Enter>, if the Privileged Exec level global configuration context is not enabled.
3. Type no snmp-server community private and then press <Enter> to delete the private community string.
4. Type no snmp-server community public and then press <Enter> to delete the public community string.
5. Type exit. The configuration context is exited.
6. Type copy running-config startup-config and then press <Enter> to save the configuration changes.
