LOCAL MANAGEMENT
Page 6-8
The Community Name Table option lets you set community names.
Community names are passwords to Local Management and they are
agents of security control to your SEHI. You control SEHI access by
establishing up to four different levels of security authorization:
Basic-Read, Read-Only, Read-Write, and Super-User.
If you have Super-User access, you can change the existing passwords
by changing the community names. Only the community name
assigned Super-User access has full management privileges.
The following sections explain each field on the Community Name
Table screen and instructions on how to change them.
Community Name
Displays the user-defined name through which a user can access Local
Management for the SEHI. Any community name assigned here acts
as a password to Local Management.
Access
Indicates the access status accorded each community name. Possible
conditions are:
Basic-Read
This allows read only access to Local
Management, but excludes read privileges
to the Component Trap screen.
Read-Only
This allows read only access to Local
Management, but excludes access to
security protected fields of the upper levels
of authorization (Read-Write or Super-
User).
Read-Write
This allows you to read and write to Local
Management fields, Excluding IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Community Names.
Super-User
This access privilege gives the user read
and write access to Local Management.
Super-User allows read and write access to
all modifiable parameters including:
Community Names, IP Addresses, Traps,
and SNMP Objects.
