Pre-requisites ■ Documentation supplied with the SNMP network management
application software.

The default write community string is private. To change this setting in

To manage your Switch using an SNMP network management
application, you need to specify SNMP community strings for the users
defined on the Switch. You can do this using the command line interface
system management snmp community command — refer to the
command line interface section of the “SuperStack 4 Switch Command
Reference Guide” for more information.
SNMP V3 is on as default. All commands are in snmp menu in System
View.
Default Users and
Passwords
If you intend to manage the Switch using the web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to
log in with a valid user name and password. The Switch has three default
user names, and each user name has a different password and level of
access. These default users are listed in
Table 13.
CAUTION: To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must
change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch.
