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.
