Cabletron Systems 2208 manual Establishing Community Names

SNMP Community Names Screen

The following explains each SNMP Community Names screen field:

Community Name (Modifiable)

Displays the user-defined name through which a user accesses the

2H22-08R SNMP Management. Any Community Name assigned here acts as a password to Local/Remote Management. To enter a community name, refer to Section 5.8.1.

Access Policy (Read-Only)

Indicates the access accorded each Community Name. The available access levels are as follows:

read-only	This Community Name gives you read-only
	access to the 2H22-08R MIB objects, and
	excludes access to security-protected fields of
	read-write or super-user authorization.
read-write	This Community Name gives you read-write
	access to the 2H22-08R MIB objects, excluding
	security protected fields for Super-User access
	only.
super-user	This Community Name gives you read-write
	access to the 2H22-08R MIB objects and
	allows you to change all modifiable parameters
	including community names, IP addresses,
	traps, and SNMP objects.

5.8.1Establishing Community Names

The password used to access Local Management on the Password Screen must have super-user access to view and edit the SNMP Community Names screen. Using a password with read-only or read-write access does not allow a user to view or edit the SNMP Community Names screen.

NOTE

Any community name assigned in the SNMP Community Names screen is a password to its corresponding level of access to Local Management. The community name assigned super-user access is the only one that gives the user complete access to Local Management.
