Modifying the Read SNMP Community String
3
Administrative users can modify the Read SNMP community string. The
Read SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password to
authenticate GET and GET-NEXT SNMP v1
and SNMP v2c messages
exchanged between the library and an external management application.
The Read SNMP community string used by the library must match the
string used by the external management application.
The default Read SNMP community string on the library is:
publicCmtyStr
.
For security purposes, this string should be modified.
When modifying the community string, adhere to the following
guidelines: the community string is case-sensitive, cannot be empty, and
cannot exceed 32 characters.
See the
Basic SNMP Reference Guide (6-01370-xx)
for further configuration
and access details.
You cannot modify the read SNMP community string from the operator
panel.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the web client select
Setup > Network Management > SNMP
.
Enabling and Disabling SNMP Authentication Traps
3
Administrative users can enable or disable SNMP authentication traps.
When the library receives an SNMP message that does not contain the
correct community string or other authentication information, the library
sends an SNMP authentication trap message to registered remote
management systems, indicating the authentication failure. SNMP
authentication traps are disabled by default.
See the
Basic SNMP Reference Guide (6-01370-xx)
for further configuration
and access details.
