Cabletron Systems TRXI-44 manual Security Access Level, Community Name, Getting and Setting OIDs

LOCAL MANAGEMENT

The Security Access Level

Each MIB component that the TRXI supports (e.g., RMON, DLM, etc.) has its own “password” for each possible level of access (ranging from Basic Read-Only to Super-User).

Note: A complete list of Super-User Community Names (also called Community Strings) resides in the Cabletron proprietary chassis MIB. The MIB group chCompName provides the names of the MIB components. The MIB group chCompSUCommStr provides individual MIB component Community Names/Strings.

The component information corresponds numerically – by last digit. In other words, each instance (i.e., OID element) in the chCompName group indicates its match in the chCompSUCommStr group.

In order to access a specific MIB’s components, you must set the appropriate MIB password in the COMMUNITY NAME field.

Note: The default Super-User password (public) allows you to access all MIB components. To change the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME field, you must have Super-User access to Local Management.

To set the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the field to the right of

COMMUNITY NAME.

2.Enter the Community Name necessary for Super-User access for any specific MIB (e.g., channelA for Repeater Rev. 4 MIB).

3.Press the Return key. The Community Name changes.

Getting and Setting OIDs

To get an OID:

1.Highlight GET, using the arrow keys.

2.Press the Return key. “<GET> OID (=F9)” appears.
