Table 5-5. SNMP Menu Options (1 of 2)

Security (SNMP Security) A-F-A

Gives the user the ability to configure allowable NMS IP addresses and to configure

SNMP agent.

Although SNMP community strings (if they are changed from the defaults) provide a measure of security for unauthorized managers, enabling IP address security and entering the IP address of up to five authorized SNMP managers provides a much higher level of security. When IP address security is enabled, the source address of any SNMP message addressed to any of the card's IP addresses (in either the management or service domain) will be checked against the authorized list and will be dropped if there is no match.

IP Address Security ± Enable/Disable (Default = Disable).

￿Enabling allows DSLAM to accept SNMP messages from SNMP managers whose IP source addresses have been entered in the IP Address field.

NOTE: If enabled with no IP address specified or with all addresses set to No Access (NA) permission, then there is no SNMP connectivity to the MCC card.

￿Disabling stops IP address checking and allows the card to respond to a SNMP query from any source with a proper community string.

IP Address ± nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. Enter up to five IP source addresses of NMS managers.

Access ± ReadOnly(ro)/ReadWrite(rw)/NoAccess(na). Permission to be granted to each NMS manager.

Logical Entities (SNMP Logical Entities) A-F-B

This screen displays default system information contained in the logical table of the

Entity MIB. Only the Community Name fields can be edited; others are read only.

￿I (Index) column shows the index number of DSL cards 1 through 18.

￿T (Type) column shows ªDº for DSL cards.

￿Read Only Comm and Read Write Comm show the community strings of the DSL cards present in that slot.

Logical Entities 2 (SNMP Logical Entities 2) A-F-C
