Chapter 2 Reporting and Mitigation Devices Overview
Selecting the Access Type
When you define a device in MARS, the Access IP is the IP address of the FTP server (not the router),
and the authentication information is used to access the FTP server. The Access Method is set to FTP.
The Reporting IP is the IP address of the interface over which SNMP traps are published by the router.
The following topics describe how to configure each access type, identifying the fields that should be
completed when a specific access type is selected. For efficiencies sake, these procedures are referenced
throughout the specific device configuration topics, as they related to a specific device type.

Configure SNMP Access for Devices in MARS
This procedure assumes you are defining a reporting device or mitigation device and that you were
referred to this procedure after selecting SNMP in the Access Type list. To select SNMP as the access
type, you must provide MARS with SNMP read-write access.
Note
The SNMP access type is not required to enable the SMPO RO strings. In fact, no access type is required
to support SNMP RO. SNMP RO uses a shared, read-only community string; it does not require a
read-write community string as does the SNMP access type.
If you selected
SNMP as the access type, follow these steps:
Step 1
In the Login field, enter the username of the administrative account to use when accessing the reporting
device.
Step 2
In the Password field, enter the password associated with the username specified in the Login field.
Step 3
If this device supports an enable mode, enter that password in the Enable Password field.
Configure Telnet Access for Devices in MARS
This procedure assumes you are defining a reporting device or mitigation device and that you were
referred to this procedure after selecting TELNET in the Access Type list.
If you selected
TELNET as the access type, follow these steps:
Step 1
In the Login field, enter the username of the administrative account to use when accessing the reporting
device.
Step 2
In the Password field, enter the password associated with the username specified in the Login field.
Step 3
If this device supports an enable mode, enter that password in the Enable Password field.
