assigned by its user a community name. In parallel, the user defines for each SNMP entity a list of
the communities which are authorized to communicate with it, and the access rights associated
with each community (this is the SNMP community name table of the entity).
In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:
Read-only
the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest
and getNextRequest commands from management stations
which have a read-only community name.
Read-write
the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP
commands received from a management station with a read-write
community name. SNMP agents are usually configured to send traps to
management stations having read-write communities.
3.10.6 Configuring the SNMP Agent
The agent for 100AS-1 is embedded. From the Main Menu page, select <M> SNMP Manager .
Manager configuration is required to tell the agent, who has the authority to access the SNMP via
"Get" commands (read) or "Set" commands (write) and where to send "trap" messages
(unsolicited messages that are usually generated by alarms in
100AS-1 ).
The manager configuration has the ability to setup access for up to eight (8) different
management workstations. The community strings act like passwords in dealing with the device
via SNMP protocol. By assigning a manager's IP address, a community string, and assigning
read/write or read only authority, an administrator can be granted control access to
100AS-1 .
