Controlling SNMP Access

There are three methods for limiting SNMP access.

HDisable the SNMP management option.

HAssign SNMP community names and access levels. The DSU/CSU supports SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through the use of community names.

HLimit SNMP access through validation of the IP address of each allowed SNMP manager.

Assigning SNMP Community Names and Access Levels

The DSU/CSU can be managed by an SNMP manager supporting the SNMP protocol. The community name must be supplied by an external SNMP manager accessing an object in the MIB.

To define SNMP community names, follow this menu selection sequence:

Main Menu → Configuration → (Load Configuration From) →

SNMP → General SNMP Management

Refer to Table A-8,General SNMP Management Options, to:

HEnable SNMP Management.

HAssign the SNMP community names of the SNMP Managers that are allowed to access the DSU/CSU's Management Information Base (MIB).

HSpecify read or read-write access for each SNMP community name.
