6.2.2.1.9 Defining SNMP
Configuring SNMP Community Configuration Page
By default, two SNMP Communities exist:
private, with 'Read/Write' privileges and status set to enable
public, with 'Read Only' privileges and status set to enable
These are well-known communities, you can use this menu to change the defaults or to add
other communities. Only the communities that you define using this menu will have access to
the IBP using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols. Only those communities with read-write
level access will have access to this menu via SNMP.
You should use this menu when you are using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocol: if you want
to use SNMP v3 you should use the User Accounts menu.
Configurable Data
SNMP Community Name - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing community,
or to create a new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing community
names, or select 'Create' to add a new one. A valid entry is a case-sensitive string of up to
16 characters. The default community names are public and private.
Client IP Address - Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a
range of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this
device. If either (IP Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP
address. Otherwise, every client's IP address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client IP
Address, and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client IP
Address and Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client
whose IP address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access.
To allow access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and
use that machine's IP address for Client IP Address.
Client IP Mask - Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a range
of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this device. If
either (IP Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP address.
Otherwise, every client's IP address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client IP Address,
and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client IP Address and
Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client whose IP
address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access. To allow
access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and use that
machine's IP address for Client IP Address.
Access Mode - Specify the access level for this community by selecting Read/Write or
Read Only from the pull down menu.
Status - Specify the status of this community by selecting Enable or Disable from the pull
down menu. If you select enable, the Community Name must be unique among all valid
Community Names or the set request will be rejected. If you select disable, the Community
Name will become invalid.
Command Buttons
Submit - Update the IBP with the values on this screen. If you want the IBP to retain the
new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
Delete - Delete the currently selected Community Name. If you want the IBP to retain the
