4.2.2
SNMP Community Strings
CAUTION
In SNMP v1/v2c, the SNMP Community String is sent unencrypted in the
SNMP packets. Caution must be taken by the network administrator to
ensure that SNMP packets travel only over a secure and private network
if security is a concern.
The LPOD uses Community Strings as a password scheme that provides
authentication before gaining access to the router agent’s MIBs. They are used
to authenticate users and determine access privileges to the SNMP agent. The
LPOD defines three Community Strings for SNMP access:
•
Read Community
default = public
•
Write Community
default = private
•
Trap Community
default = comtech
Type the SNMP Community String into the user-supplied MIB Browser or
Network Node Management software.
For correct SNMP operation, the LPOD MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the LPOD M&C. See the LPOD FW Release Notes for
information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
4.2.3
SNMP Traps
The LPOD SNMP agent supports both SNMPv1 and v2c. The LPOD
Traps file needs to be compiled only if SNMPv1 traps are to be used.
The LPOD has the ability to send out SNMP traps both when a fault occurs and
when a fault clears in the unit. You may configure which style of traps the LPOD
sends by using the lpodSNMPTrapVersion OID.
