Appendix

This appendix has three sections: Reference, Glossary, and Troubleshooting.

Reference

This section discusses Communities, IP Addresses, Sub net masking, and routers/gateways.

Communities

A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.”

For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding. The agent can be configured so that only trap managers that are members of a community can send requests and receive responses from a particular community. This prevents unauthorized managers from viewing or changing the configuration of a device.

IP Addresses

Every device on an internetwork must be assigned a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. An IP address is a 32-bit value comprised of a network ID and a host ID. The network ID identifies the logical network to which a particular device belongs. The host ID identifies the particular device within the logical network. IP addresses distinguish devices on an internetwork from one another so that IP packets are properly transmitted.
