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 | 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.” |
