Configuring the Access Server for SNMP Access
16-6 Configuring for SNMP Access
Configuring a Community Name for Access by Any NMS
Use the CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY
community-name
SET ENABLED
command to create a community name.
When you create a community name without specifying an address the access server
assigns the default address ANY. The address ANY enables any NMS that knows this
community name to GET or SET information about the access server.
Example: Configuring Community Names for Access by Any NMS
The following example shows how to create the community name SNUGS without
specifying an address:
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "SNUGS" SET ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED
Configuring a Community Name with an Address
You can configure a community name so that only an NMS with a given address can
access the access server with SNMP commands. Use the CHANGE SNMP
COMMUNITY
community-name
ADDRESS command to configure the community
name in this way.
Example: Configuring Community Names for Access from a Specific NMS
The following example shows how to create community name BUGS. Only the NMS
with the address 195.1.1.1 can GET or SET information about the server:
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" ADDRESS 195.1.1.1
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" SET ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED
One IP Address for a Community Name
Each community name can have only one IP address assigned. The access server
rejects the addresses 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. By default, GET and GETNEXT
are enabled when you create a community name.
