5.8.1 Establishing Community Names
The password used to access Local Management at the Password screen
must have super-user access in order to view and edit the SNMP
Community Names screen. Using a community name with read-only or
read-write access does not allow the user to view or edit the SNMP
Community Names screen.
To establish community names, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent
to the selected access level.
2. Enter the password in the field (maximum 31 characters).
3. Press ENTER.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE at the bottom of the screen and
press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays. The community
names are saved to memory and their access modes implemented.
NOTE
Any community name assigned in the SNMP Community
Names screen acts as a password to its corresponding level of
access to Local Management. The community name assigned
super-user access is the only one that gives the user complete
access to Local Management.
NOTE
All passwords assigned in the 6C105 SNMP Community
Names screen allow access to both 6C105 Local Management
screens, and the Local Management screens of the interface
modules that are installed in the chassis. To configure the
interface module to not allow access to 6C105 Local
Management screens, refer to Section 5.16.
NOTE
Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED--PRESS SAVE
TO KEEP CHANGES” message to display in the top left of the
screen. Edits will be lost if they are not saved before exiting.
