The SNMP Community Names Screen

The SNMP Community Names screen enables the user to establish or modify the community names which serve as passwords to LM and to determine the level of security access the LM user is accorded.

5.4.1Community Name

Use these fields to define community name strings. Each name set in these fields will be accorded the security access level named on the same line to the right, in the Access Policy column.

5.4.2Access Policy

The Access Policy column indicates the access status accorded to the corresponding community name. Three pre-configured levels of LM access are available:

Read-only 1

This level of access allows a user partial access to view LM screens. The user will not be allowed to write to any field in LM, nor will the user be allowed to view the super-user or read-write community names.

Read-write 2

This level of access allows a user to view LM screens and to change values set in them, including the read-only community name. The user will not be able to write to the IP Address, the Subnet Mask, or read-write community name fields, nor will the user will be allowed to view the super-user name.

Super-user 3

This level of access is absolute and will grant a user full LM access privileges to read and edit any LM parameters, including community names.
