HP UX Internet and Networking Software Desktop Snmp Option Values for Community Type Parameters

NET.CFG Options Reference

Desktop SNMP Option

For example, if you disable the control community, no one can use Desktop SNMP to do SET operations against the data it manages.

For examples of complete files, see “Example of NET.CFG Files Using the Community Name and Types.”

Desktop SNMP reads the community name definition as follows, depending on the enable community_type community line:

Table 2-3	Desktop SNMP Option Values for Community Type Parameters
	Value	Explanation
	Any	If enable community_type community is set to
		“any” for a community type, any community
		string can be used to gain access. The line defining
		the community name can be omitted. If it is
		present, Desktop SNMP ignores it.
		For trap community strings, the “any” option is not
		applicable. If you specify enable trap community
		any, Desktop SNMP interprets the line as if the
		community type were specified.
	Off	If enable community_type community is set to
		“off” for a community type, access for that
		community type is disabled. The line defining the
		community name can be omitted. If the line is
		present, Desktop SNMP ignores it.
	Omitted	If enable community_type community is set to
		“omitted” for a specific community type, Desktop
		SNMP defaults to “specified” for that community
		type and looks for a line defining a community
		name for the community type. If no community
		name is specified, Desktop SNMP defaults to
		“public.”
	Specified	If enable community_type community is set to
		“specified” for a community type, Desktop SNMP
		uses only the specified community name for that
		community type. If none is specified, Desktop
		SNMP defaults to “public.”
