OKI OkiLAN 6120e User’s Guide
Advanced Management
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6120e must have bi-directional status enabled (it is
disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled
through the OkiLAN 6120e Configuration utility
(telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also
enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX
from the Output Port file tab.
Security
SNMP implements a simple security system known as
community names. Each SNMP message has a
community name associated with the command in the
message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get
community name and a Trap community name. When
the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the
community name of the message with the community
name of the device. If the community names do not
match, the Agent discards the message and sends an
authentication failure trap.
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the
OkiLAN 6120e Configuration utility (telnet) allow you
to specify the community names and a trap destination
IP address.
