Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Use Default  Uses the device generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address and is defined per standard as:

First 4 octets  First bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.

Fifth octet  Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.

Last 6 octets  MAC address of the device.

SNMP Notifications  Indicates if the device can send SNMP notifications.

Authentication Notifications  Indicates if SNMP Authentication failure notification is enabled on the device.

SNMP > Views

The SNMP Views screen provides access or block access to device features or feature aspects. For example, a view can be defined that states that SNMP Group A has Read Only (R/O) access to Multicast groups, while SNMP Group B has Read-Write (R/W) access to Multicast groups. Feature access is granted via the MIB name, or MIB Object ID.

SNMP > Views

View Name  Displays the user-defined views. The options are as follows:

Default  Displays the default SNMP view for read and read/write views.

DefaultSuper  Displays the default SNMP view for administrator views.

Subtree IDTree  Indicates the device feature OID included or excluded in the selected SNMP view. The options to select the Subtree are as follows:

Select from List  Select the Subtree from the list.

Insert  Enables a Subtree not included in the Select from List field to be entered.

View Type  Indicates if the defined OID branch will be included or excluded in the selected SNMP view.

Click Add to List to add the Views configuration to the Views Table at the bottom of the screen.

SNMP > Group Profile

The Group Profile screen allows you to create SNMP groups and assign SNMP access control privileges to SNMP groups. Groups allow network managers to assign access rights to specific device features, or features aspects.

SNMP > Group Profile

Group Name  Displays the user-defined group to which access control rules are applied. The field range is up to 30 characters.

Security Model  Defines the SNMP version attached to the group. The possible field values are:

SNMPv1  SNMPv1 is defined for the group.

SNMPv2  SNMPv2 is defined for the group.

SNMPv3  SNMPv3 is defined for the group.

Security Level  Defines the security level attached to the group. Security levels apply to SNMPv3 only. The possible field values are:

No Authentication  Indicates that neither the Authentication nor the Privacy security levels are assigned to the group.

Authentication  Authenticates SNMP messages, and ensures the SNMP messages origin is authenticated.

Privacy  Encrypts SNMP messages.

Read  The management access is restricted to read- only, and changes cannot be made to the assigned SNMP view.

Write  The management access is read-write and changes can be made to the assigned SNMP view.
