Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
The “Communities” parameter provides a means of limiting access to SNMP
managed devices. The “Communities” sub-menu allows the network administrator
to determine the type of access allowed for each area name and IP address.
All SNMP messages carry a community name which is validated against a locally
defined community table to allow certain kinds of access (e.g., Read or Read/Write
access).
Note: The community table is defined in TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB. It can be
accessed by SNMP and through the local Parameters menu.
Community
This parameter displays the community name itself.
IP
This parameter identifies the IP address. If the “Access” parameter indicates Read
or
Read/Write, a non-zero IP address will restrict the source of SNMP commands
to be accepted only if they originate from the specified IP address. A null IP address
can be accessed from any source. If the “Access” parameter has a value of
TrapDest, the IP specifies the destination IP address for traps. Note that more than
one trap destination can be configured.
Access
The value assigned to the “Access” parameter determines the use of the community
row.
Read indicates that this community name provides read-only access to the
variables.
Read/Write means this community name can both read and write
variables.
Trap Dest indicates that this community row is only used to define a
trap destination. Note that “IP” must also be set for these rows to be effective.
RowStatus
“RowStatus” specifies the status of this row of the table. The allowable values
include
Active and NotInService. A row configured using the Parameters menu
should always be set to
Active.
