Enabling SNMP Set commands
The R/W Comm Enable parameter disables SNMP set commands by default. Before you use
an SNMP Set command, you must set R/W Comm Enable to
Yes
.
Note:
Even if you enable R/W Comm, you must still know the read-write community string
to use a Set command.
Setting community strings
The Read Comm parameter specifies the SNMP community name for read access (up to 32
characters), and the R/W Comm parameter specifies the SNMP community name for
read/write access.
Setting up and enforcing address security
If the Security parameter is set to
No
(its default value), any SNMP manager that presents the
right community name will be allowed access. If you set this parameter to
Yes
, the MAX
checks the source IP address of the SNMP manager and allows access only to those IP
addresses listed in the RD MgrN and WR MgrN parameters, each of which specifies up to five
host addresses.
Resetting the MAX and verifying reset
Use SNMP (
sysReset
object) to reset a MAX from an SNMP manager. After the Reset
command is issued, a one-minute timeout (not modifiable) permits the MAX to confirm the
request before the unit is reset.
