SNMP Community Names Screen

6.7.1Establishing Community Names

The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen must have Super-User access in order for edits in the SNMP Community Names screen to take effect. Using a password with Read-Only or Read-Write access does not allow the user to 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.

To establish community names, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent to the selected access level.

2.Enter the password in the field (maximum 31 characters).

3.Press ENTER.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” appears. The community names are saved to memory and their access modes implemented.

NOTE

Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED?” message to display above the SAVE command. Edits will be lost if they are not saved before exiting.

6.To exit the screen, use the arrow keys to highlight RETURN and press

ENTER.
