Cabletron Systems 6H122-16 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 6C105 management. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to Local/Remote Management.

Access Policy (Read-Only)

Indicates the access accorded each community name. Possible selections are as follows:

read-only	This community name allows read-only access
	to the 6C105 MIB objects, and excludes access
	to security-protected fields of read-write or
	super-user authorization.
read-write	This community name allows read and write
	access to the 6C105 MIB objects, excluding
	security protected fields for super-user access
	only.
super-user	This community name permits read-write
	access to the 6C105 MIB objects and allows the
	user 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 at the Password screen must have Super-User access in order to view and edit the SNMP Community Names screen. Using a password with read-only or read-write access does not allow the 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.
