Definition

Describes the location of the ETEP in the network.

Defines the designated contact information for the device.

Community Strings

By default the ETEP disregards SNMP requests from a network management station. A community name must be defined for the network management station to monitor and collect statistics from the appliance. The community name identifies a group of devices and management stations running SMNP. An SNMP device or agent can belong to more than one SNMP community. An appliance will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities.

To define a community name:

1Under Community Strings, click Add.

2In the Access box, select an access option. A read-only community name allows queries of the SNMP agent in the appliance. A read-write community name allows a network management station to perform queries and limited set operations (system location and contact).

3In the Value box, enter an SNMP community name. The name is a text string of alphanumeric characters, with a maximum length of 255. All printable characters are valid except: < > “ &

4Click OK.
