DSL Configuration SNMP Screens
Use the system information submenu of the SNMP screens to configure SNMP security, logical entities, community names, and trap addresses.
"Procedure
1.Follow this menu sequence: Configuration → SNMP
2.The SNMP menu appears. Enter the desired values on the selected screen and field as shown in Table
Table 6-6. SNMP Options (1 of 2)

Gives the user the ability to configure allowable NMS IP addresses and to configure
SNMP agent.
Although SNMP community strings (if they are changed from the defaults) provide a measure of security for unauthorized managers, enabling IP address security and entering the IP address of up to five authorized SNMP managers provides a much higher level of security. When IP address security is enabled, the source address of any SNMP message addressed to any of the card's IP addresses (in either the management or service domain) will be checked against the authorized list and will be dropped if there is no match.
IP Address Security ± Enable/Disable (Default = Disable).
Enabling allows DSLAM to accept SNMP messages from SNMP managers whose IP source addresses have been entered in IP Address field.
NOTE: If enabled with no IP address specified or with all addresses set to No Access (NA) permission, then there is no SNMP connectivity to the DSL card.
Disabling stops this IP address checking and allows the card to respond to a SNMP query from any source.
IP Address ± nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. Enter up to five IP source addresses of NMS managers.
Access ± ReadOnly(ro)/ReadWrite(rw)/NoAccess(na). Permission to be granted to each NMS manager.
The following applies to additional SNMP security measures for a 5446 RTU:
Endpoint Cookie ± Security string for endpoint. Enter up to eight alphanumeric characters (Default = nosets). Once endpoint security is enabled, none of the SNMP managers can do SNMP sets on the RTUs. SNMP gets, however, can be done.

This screen displays information contained in the logical table of the Entity MIB. Only the Community Name field can be edited; others are read only.
I (Index) column shows the index number of DSL ports two to five.
T (Type) column shows ªRemote.º
Read Write Comm shows the community strings of the RTU attached to this port. It is used when the DSLAM downloads configuration data to the RTU in a future release.
