10.5.1.2 SNMPv1/v2c-Community
SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string matching for authentication. This au-
thentication will allow network management software to access the information or data
objects defined by Management Information Bases (MIBs) on the industrial managed
switch. Note that this simple authentication is considered a weak security mechanism. It
is recommended to use SNMP V3, if possible. There are two levels of authentications or
permission type in WAGO 852-1328, which are read-all-only or read-write-all. For exam-
ple, in our default setting as shown in Figure “SNMP V1/V2c Community Setting”, an
SNMP agent, which is a network management software module residing on the industrial
managed switch, can access all objects with read-all-only permissions using the string
“public”. Another setting example is that the string “private” has permission of read-write-
all.
The SNMP V1/V2c Community Setting as shown in Figure “SNMP V1/V2c Community
Setting” allows the user to set a community string with a type of permission for authenti-
cation or remove existing community string from the list by clicking on the
[Remove]
but-
ton at the end of each community string item. The users can specify a new string names
by entering a text in the String field and choose a type of permissions from the dropdown
list of Permission Type. Then, click on the
[Add]
button.
