Limiting SNMP Access Through IP Addresses

An additional level of security is provided by:

HLimiting the IP addresses of NMSs that can access the FrameSaver unit.

HPerforming validation checks on the IP address of SNMP management systems attempting to access the FrameSaver unit.

HSpecifying the access allowed for the authorized NMS when IP address validation is performed.

The SNMP NMS Security Options screen provides the configuration options that determine whether security checking is performed on the IP address of SNMP management systems attempting to communicate with the unit.

Make sure that SNMP Management is set to Enable.
