In order to be able to reach all the devices in the network, connection is possible
either via access points (1) and (2) or, alternatively, via access point (3). The
connection variant can be selected depending on the local conditions.
6.3 SNMP configuration for using the Maintenance Station
SNMP version v1 or v2c is required for integration of network components in the
asset management of the Maintenance Station. For security reasons, only SNMP
version 3 is enabled in the configuration of the Service Bridge.
The following section explains the procedure, which must be followed to enable
and configure SNMPv1/v2c in the Service Bridge.
Procedure
44. Navigate to the "System > SNMP" menu (1)(2).
45. In the SNMP drop-down list, select the entry "SNMPv1/v2c/v3" (3) and select
the "SNMPv1/v2c Read Only" (4) check box.
When the check box is selected, only read access to the SNMP tags via
SNMPv1/v2c is possible.
46. In the "SNMPv1/v2c Read Community String" (5) entry field, enter a character
string for the community string, which is to be used for read access via SNMP.
47. In the "SNMPv1/v2c Read/Write Community String" (5) entry field, enter a
character string for the community string, which is to be used for read and write
access via SNMP.
48. Click the "Set Values" button (6) to confirm the settings.
Since the SNMP community strings provide access protection, do not use the
default values "public" or "private".
The recommended minimum length for community strings is 6 characters.
