7.3.1 Configuring SNMP v1/v2 Access

SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) is an evolution of the SNMPv1. The Get, GetNext, and Set operations used in SNMPv1 are exactly the same as those used in SNMPv2. However, SNMPv2 adds and enhances some protocol operations. The SNMPv2 Trap operation, for example, serves the same function used in SNMPv1, but it uses a different message format and is designed to replace a SNMPv1 Trap.

Refer to the v1/v2c screen for information on existing SNMP v1/v2 community names and their current access control settings. Community names can be modified by selecting a community name and clicking the Edit button.

NOTE: The SNMP undo feature is not supported.

To review existing SNMP v1/v2 definitions:

1.Select Management Access > SNMP Access > v1/v2 from the main menu tree.

2. Refer to the Community Name and Access Control fields for the following information:

Community Name	Displays the read-only or read-write name used to associate a site-appropriate name for the
	community. The name is required to match the name used within the remote network
	management software. Click the Edit button to modify an existing Community Name.
Access Control	The Access Control field specifies a read-only (R) access or read/write (RW) access for the
	community. Read-only access allows a remote device to retrieve information, while read/
	write access allows a remote device to modify settings. Click the Edit button to modify an
	existing Access Control.

3.Highlight an existing entry and click the Edit button to modify the properties of an existing SNMP V1/v2 community and access control definition. For more information, see Editing an Existing SNMP v1/v2 Community Name on page 7-6.
