Chapter 3: Configuring Your FN10
3.11.4 Authentication Password
The set password and get password variables (from the SMC proprietary MIB), must be initialized with the correct authentication passwords.
All requests from any SNMP manager contain a community name field. For set requests, the community name must match the set password; otherwise, the request will be rejected by the FN10. For get requests, the community name must match either the set password or the get password.
Set Password
The set password variable (sxadminAnyPass) must be set to the value of the community name used by the SNMP manager for performing either set or get operations. A zero length password means that any community name is acceptable.
sxadminAnyPass - {sxadmin 2} DisplayString (SIZE (0..24))
Get Password
The get password variable (sxadminGetPass) must be set to the value of the community name used by the SNMP manager for performing get operations. A zero length password means that any community name is acceptable.
sxadminGetPass - {sxadmin 3} DisplayString (SIZE (0..24))
3.11.5 Aging Parameter
Dynamic (learned) addresses are automatically deleted from the FN10 Bridge Address Table after a certain length of time. The aging time default is five minutes, as set by the IEEE 802.1d standard. However, you can change the aging parameter using the MIB variable dot1dTpAgingTime.
The FN10 continually compares the actual age of each dynamic address against the age specified by the dot1dTpAgingTime parameter, and deletes any addresses that are older than the age specified (or older than five minutes if you are using the default). Typically, there is no need to set the aging time to a very small number because the FN10 Bridge Address Table supports 8,192 addresses.
Static addresses (those added by the user) are not aged.
