LanProbe Overview

The LanProbe private MIB uses a four-level access control scheme. An access
level is assigned for each community string to be used with LanProbe. The access
level is an integer value between one and four, with increasing degrees of
authorization granted for higher authorization numbers. Each higher level is
granted the rights of all lower levels in addition to the specific privileges of that
level. Table 1-1 shows specific access privileges by level.
