Managing Authorized SNMP Station Access 63
Managing
Authorized SNMP
Station Access
You can use an SNMP management station, such as 3Com Corporation’s
Enterprise Management Suite, to manage a VCX server. You must,
however, grant the management station explicit access to the VCX server
to enable the exchange of SNMP management and monitoring messages.
You can add and delete SNMP stations using the
cagManageAuthorizedStations
script.
Note the following considerations:
■
The
vcx-reconfigure
script provides the option to enable or disable
management station authentication. Enabling management station
authentication allows you to specify up to four stations using
vcx-reconfigure
.
■
Authorized stations added through
cagManageAuthorizedStations
or through EMS must be deleted through
cagManageAuthorizedStations
or through EMS. You cannot
selectively remove one of these stations while running
vcx-reconfigure
(refer to the VCX Installation Guide for information
to
vcx-reconfigure
). Authorized stations added through
cagManageAuthorizedStations
or EMS are not visible from
vcx-reconfigure
.
■
If you disable management station authentication while running
vcx-reconfigure
, all previously configured authorized stations are
removed.
To allow an SNMP management station access to a VCX server:
1 Log on the VCX server you want to manage using the root account.
2 Enter the following command to change directories:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/bin
3 Enter the following command to start the manage authorized stations
script:
./cagManageAuthorizedStations
The script displays the following menu:
