8.1.1SNMP 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.

Follow the steps below to change the SNMP security settings:

1.Enter New Community and Confirm Community with the same string.

2.Check the ‘SNMP Access Filters’ Enable box.

3.Enter Access Filters IP Address and Mask. Up to three IP settings can be entered.
