Read-Only and Read/Write Access Control
The following fields allow you to define user names, passwords, and authentication parameters for two levels
of access: read-only and read/write. The name of the field indicates which level of access it refers to. For
example, Read-only authentication mode allows you to configure the authentication mode for read-only access,
whereas Read/write authentication mode allows you to configure the authentication mode for read/write
access. For each level of access, you may configure the following:

LLDP Settings
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) standardizes the method that devices on a network use to periodically
send information about their configuration and status. This self-identification method keeps all LLDP devices on
a network informed of each other's status and configuration. You can use SNMP protocol to send the LLDP
information on the network devices to Moxa's MXview to create auto network topology and for network
visualization.
The MGate web interface lets you enable or disable LLDP, and set the LLDP transmit interval. In addition, you
can go to
System Monitoring–System Status–LLDP Table
to view the MGate’s neighbor-list, which is
created based on the information reported by neighboring devices on the network.
Parameters
