SNMP Agent Enable:
Option to enable or disable SNMP support
•
Read Only Community:
The SNMP Read-only Community string is like a user
id or password that allows access to a router's or other device's statistics.
InterMapper sends the community string along with all SNMP requests. If the
community string is correct, the device responds with the requested information.
If the community string is incorrect, the device simply discards the request and
does not respond.
Factory default setting for the read-only community string is set to "public". It is
standard practice to change all the community strings so that outsiders cannot see
information about the internal network. (In addition, the administrator may also
employ firewalls to block any SNMP traffic to ports 161 and 162 on the internal
network.)
Change this value to have InterMapper use the new string when querying SNMP
devices.
•
Read Write Community:
allows a remote device to read information from a
device and to modify settings on that device. InterMapper does not use the read-
write community string, since it never attempts to modify any settings on its
devices.
