Enabling Fabric Services
Fabric services includes SNMP and in-band management. Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management and
monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string
and a write community string, that are basically the passwords that control read and
write access to the switch. The read community string ("public") and write
community string ("private") are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and
should be changed if SNMP is enabled using the System Services or SNMP
Properties dialogs. If SNMP is enabled (default) and the read and write community
strings have not been changed from their defaults, you risk unwanted access to the
switch. Refer to

SNMP is enabled by default.
In-band management is the ability to manage switches across inter-switch links
using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, SNMP, management server, or the application
programming interface. The switch comes from the factory with in-band
management enabled. If you disable in-band management on a particular switch,
you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than a direct
Ethernet or serial connection. Refer to
