Cabletron Systems SEHI-32, SEHI-22, SEHI-24, SEHI-34 manual Community Name, Access

LOCAL MANAGEMENT

The Community Name Table option lets you set community names. Community names are passwords to Local Management and they are agents of security control to your SEHI. You control SEHI access by establishing up to four different levels of security authorization: Basic-Read, Read-Only, Read-Write, and Super-User.

If you have Super-User access, you can change the existing passwords by changing the community names. Only the community name assigned Super-User access has full management privileges.

The following sections explain each field on the Community Name Table screen and instructions on how to change them.

Community Name

Displays the user-defined name through which a user can access Local Management for the SEHI. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to Local Management.

Access

Indicates the access status accorded each community name. Possible conditions are:

Basic-Read	This allows read only access to Local
	Management, but excludes read privileges
	to the Component Trap screen.
Read-Only	This allows read only access to Local
	Management, but excludes access to
	security protected fields of the upper levels
	of authorization (Read-Write or Super-
	User).
Read-Write	This allows you to read and write to Local
	Management fields, Excluding IP Address,
	Subnet Mask, and Community Names.
Super-User	This access privilege gives the user read
	and write access to Local Management.
	Super-User allows read and write access to
	all modifiable parameters including:
	Community Names, IP Addresses, Traps,
	and SNMP Objects.
