4.4.1 Establishing Community Names
The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen must have super-user
access to view and edit the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen. Using a password
with read-only or read-write access does not allow the viewing or editing of the SNMP
Community Names Configuration screen.
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 32 characters).
3. Press ENTER.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press
ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays. The community names are saved to memory and
their access modes implemented.
Access Policy
(Read-Only) Indicate the access accorded each community name. The available access levels are as follows:
read-only This community name gives the user read-only access
to the device MIB objects, and excludes access to
security-protected fields of read-write or super-user
authorization.
read-write This community name gives the user read-write access
to the device MIB objects, excluding security protected
fields for Super-User access only.
super-user This community name gives the user read-write access
to the device MIB objects and allows the user to change
all modifiable parameters including community names,
IP addresses, traps, and SNMP objects.
NOTE: Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED?” message to display at the top
left of the screen. Edits are lost if they are not saved before exiting.
