Managing Your Remote Console Switch Using the On-board Web Interface
In the SNMP category, you can enter system information and community
strings. You may also designate which stations can manage the Remote
Console Switch as well as receive SNMP traps from the switch. For more
information on traps, see "Enabling Individual SNMP Traps" on page 150 in
this chapter. If you check
Enable SNMP
, the unit will respond to SNMP
requests over UDP port 161.
NOTE:
The on-board web interface does not use standard SNMP to control
switches and therefore does not use UDP port 161. The on-board web interface
uses a secure, proprietary protocol to communicate with the Remote Console
Switches over a different network port.
