MARTNA™ 10G NETWORK ACCESS (SMARTNA-X)
USING SNMP | CONFIGURING SNMP
DRAFT
Where a client wants to connect using an older version of SNMP but the access control on the SmartNA-X device
is configured using VACM, there is an alternative mechanism for defining community strings. To the client, these
appear like any other community string when connecting via SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c. Internally, however, the
community string is mapped onto a “security name” that is then added into groups, just like native SNMPv3 users.
Thus these VACM-style community strings can use all of the flexibility of the SNMPv3 view-based access control
system, even though the client has no knowledge of SNMPv3.
