Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
Caution Deleting or changing the community named “public” prevents network
management applications (such as auto-discovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP
trap generation, and threshold setting) from operating in the switch.
(Changing or deleting the “public” name also generates an Event Log
message.) If security for network management is a concern, it is
recommended that you change the write access for the “public” community
to “Restricted”.
