    Posted Mar 10, 2024 05:44 PM

    Hi guys, 

    Could you please help me with disabling SNMP on HP 2920-48G-POE+ Switch

    I'm on its WebUI System > SNMP page but there is no option to disable it. 

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have SNMP Trap Receivers or a Communities Configured? 

    Those can be removed, at which point the switch would no longer send or respond to SNMP.

    This is what I have configured on the WebUISNMP section. 

    In the CLI I see only this "snmp-server community "public" unrestricted".

    Yes, the "Public" Community string is definitely one you want to get rid of whether or not you plan to use SNMP or not. 

    The "Public" string is intended for use only in initial provisioning of a switch, it should be removed as soon as the switch goes into production.

    Hi! also have a look at this ArubaOS-Switch 16.06 Hardening Guide (old but still good):


    There is a paragraph about SNMP.
