8.1.1 SNMP Security
The user can edit the SNMP Community String and SNMP Access filters. The SNMP community needs to
match with the SNMP monitoring software used. The SNMP Access Filters allows you to determine which
host(s) is authorized to monitor the device using SNMP. It is recommended that you set this for security
reason and to prevent an attack. To change the SNMP security settings, click on the SNMP security link
in the System Configuration page. Figure 7-2 shows the SNMP Security Configuration page.
