8.1.1 SNMP Security
The user can edit the SNMP Community String and SNMP Access filters. The SNMP community
needs to match with the SNMP monitoring software used. The SNMP Access Filters allows you to
determine which host(s) is authorized to monitor the device using SNMP. It is recommended that you
set this for security reason and prevent an attack. To change the SNMP security settings, click on the
SNMP security link in the System Configuration page. Figure 6-2 shows the SNMP Security
Configuration page.
