Controlling SNMP Access
The DSU/CSU supports SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through
the use of community names. There are three methods for limiting SNMP access:
„
Disabling SNMP access.
„
Assigning SNMP community names and the access type.
„
Assigning IP addresses of those NMSs that can access the unit.
Disabling SNMP Access
When the SNMP access is disabled, the DSU/CSU will not respond to SNMP
messages.

1. Select the General SNMP Management options.
