Chapter 12 Managing SNMP
176 Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide
Secure Group Commands
This section describes the secure group commands that enable you to enable or
disable security on the switch and set up a list of Network Management Station
(NMS) addresses as authorized managers.
An authorized manager is any NMS that is listed in the secure allowed table. If you
enable security then only authorized managers that have been specified in the
security tables will be able to manage the M770 ATM Switch.
There is a limit on the number of concurrent NMSs that can manage a single M770
ATM Switch. If SNMP security is enabled then a maximum of 15 concurrent NMSs
can manage the M770 ATM Switch, otherwise up to 20 concurrent NMSs can
manage the switch.
Note: The secure commands do not affect Telnet sessions access to a M770 ATM
Switch. Telnet sessions use password security.
Listing the status of the SNMP security
You can list all NMSs that are assigned access as authorized managers. Also
displayed are the NMS’s that are currently accessing the M770 ATM Switch.
For each NMS in the table the following information is displayed: an index entry
number for the NMS, the address type of the NMS, the IP address of the NMS, and
when the current NMS last accessed the M770 ATM Switch.
To display all the security information for the M770 ATM Switch, use the snmp
secure show command.
