Configuring the Access Server for SNMP Access
Configuring a Community Name for Access by Any NMSUse the CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY
When you create a community name without specifying an address the access server assigns the default address ANY. The address ANY enables any NMS that knows this community name to GET or SET information about the access server.
Example: Configuring Community Names for Access by Any NMS
The following example shows how to create the community name SNUGS without specifying an address:
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "SNUGS" SET ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED
Configuring a Community Name with an AddressYou can configure a community name so that only an NMS with a given address can access the access server with SNMP commands. Use the CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY
Example: Configuring Community Names for Access from a Specific NMS
The following example shows how to create community name BUGS. Only the NMS with the address 195.1.1.1 can GET or SET information about the server:
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" ADDRESS 195.1.1.1
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" SET ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED
One IP Address for a Community Name
Each community name can have only one IP address assigned. The access server rejects the addresses 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. By default, GET and GETNEXT are enabled when you create a community name.
