SNMP Management

When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, first it checks the originator's community: if the community name of the message originator differs from the community name specified for that type of message in the agent, the message it discarded (SNMP agents of managed entities report this event by means of an authentication failure trap).

ASMi-450 Communities

The SNMP agent of the ASMi-450 can use the following community types:

Read	SNMP community that has read-only authorization, i.e., the
	SNMP agent will accept only getRequest and
	getNextRequest commands from management stations
	using that community.
	The default read-only community for RAD network
	management stations is public.
Write	SNMP community that has read-write authorization, i.e., the
	SNMP agent will also accept setRequest commands
	from management stations using that community.
Trap	SNMP community which the SNMP agent will send within
	trap messages.
