access

Enable SNMPv1 Access: Enables SNMP version 1 as a method of communication with this

 

device.

 

 

access

You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which Network Management

control

Systems (NMSs) have access to this device. The opening page for access control, by default,

 

assigns one entry to each of the four available SNMPv1 communities, but you can edit these

 

settings to apply more than one entry to any community to grant access by several specific IPv4

 

and IPv6 addresses, host names, or IP address masks. To edit the access control settings for a

 

community, click its community name.

 

• If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that community has

 

access to this device from any location on the network.

 

• If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of four

 

entries requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access control entry. If

 

no access control entry is listed for a community, that community has no access to this device.

 

Community Name: The name that an NMS must use to access the community. The maximum

 

length is 15 ASCII characters, and the default community names for the four communities are

 

public, private, public2, and private2.

 

NMS IP/Host Name: The IPv4 or IPv6 address, IP address mask, or host name that controls

 

access by NMSs. A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access only

by the NMS at that location. IP addresses that contain 255 restrict access as follows:

149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.

149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.

149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.

0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.

Access Type: The actions an NMS can perform through the community.

Read: GETS only, at any time

Write: GETS at any time, and SETS when no user is logged onto the Web interface or command line interface.

Write+: GETS and SETS at any time.

Disable: No GETS or SETS at any time.
