Chapter 12 Managing SNMP

Configuring Authorized Managers

This section describes how to view and set up a list of Network Management Station (NMS) addresses on the M770 ATM Switch as authorized managers.

An authorized manager is any NMS that is listed in the Secure Allowed Table. The NMS will be able to access the M770 ATM Switch by sending SNMP requests and receiving SNMP replies from the M770 ATM Switch.

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 using SNMP.

There is a limit on the number of concurrent NMS’s that can manage a single M770 ATM Switch. If SNMP security is enabled then a maximum of 15 NMS’s can manage the M770 ATM Switch, otherwise up to 20 NMS’s can manage the switch.

Listing all authorized managers

You can list all NMS’s that are set up as authorized managers in 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 for the NMS, and the IP address for the NMS.

To display a list of authorized managers, use the snmp secure allowed show command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>snmp secure

Output:

Secure mode is currently Disabled

mstack secure allowed table

Setting up an authorized manager entry
