Authentication
Purpose SNMP is a fully defined, interoperative standard that helps you man-
age both the switch and the network. To do this you can:
• Specify the names of the hosts to access the SNMP agent on the
switch (authentication) by defining the source IP and community
• Specify read-write or read-only for authenticated hosts
• Request a trap to be sent if authentication is violated
Note If no hosts are defined in the Authentication List, any host
can access the SNMP agent in the switch.
