SNMP Security (Community Names)

SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of security by requiring that each request include a community name. A community name is an arbi- trary string of characters used as a assword” to control access to the hub. If the hub receives a request with a community name it does not recognize, it will trigger an authentication trap, provided this feature has not been dis- abled.

The DFE-2600 series master hubs allow up to four different community names to be defined, and the access rights for each community can be sepa- rately set to either read only or read/write. The status for each string can be toggled to either valid or invalid. The community names public and private are defined by default; you can change these names in addition to adding others. You will need to coordinate these names with the community name settings you use in your network management system.
