6.2.1.7 Defining SNMP
6.2.1.7.1. Configuring SNMP Community Configuration Page
By default, two SNMP Communities exist:
private, with 'Read/Write' privileges and status set to enable
public, with 'Read Only' privileges and status set to enable
These are well-known communities, you can use this menu to change the defaults or to add
other communities. Only the communities that you define using this menu will have access to
the switch using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols. Only those communities with read-write
level access will have access to this menu via SNMP.
You should use this menu when you are using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocol: if you want
to use SNMP v3 you should use the User Accounts menu.
Configurable Data
SNMP Community Name
- You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing community,
or to create a new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing community
names, or select 'Create' to add a new one. A valid entry is a case-sensitive string of up to
16 characters. The default community names are
public
and
private
.
Client IP Address
- Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a
range of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this
device. If either (IP Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP
address. Otherwise, every client's IP address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client IP
Address, and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client IP
Address and Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client
whose IP address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access.
To allow access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and
use that machine's IP address for Client IP Address.
Client IP Mask
- Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a range
of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this device. If
