5.3.2 Display/Modify SNMPv1/v2c Communities
View or modify devices that have permission to access the Web card, identified by IP address or host-
name, read/write permission and community string. Choose IP Network Settings from the Main
Menu, then Management Protocol.
Up to 20 devices may be configured for access.
Each device is identified by:
• Entry Number - use the entry number (1-20) to edit or delete an entry
• IP address or Hostname - the address of the device with access (MultiLink server, Nform
server, Network Management System)
• Access (read/write) - read allows users to view but not change data; write allows full
permission for configuration, control and viewing
• Community string - the community string used by the IP host for this Entry Number
(case-sensitive, up to 32 characters)
To make changes:
Add a device (see example at right to enter all parameters in one line):
• Enter a to add an entry, then press Enter.
• Enter the IP address or hostname of the device to be added, then press
Enter.
• Enter 1 for read or 2 for write access for this device, then press Enter.
• Enter the community string, then press Enter.
Example
a 10.0.0.5 write public1
(then press Enter)
Edit a device (see example at right to enter all parameters in one line):
• Enter e to edit an entry, then press Enter.
• Type the Entry Number, then press Enter.
• Enter the new IP address or hostname, then press Enter.
• Enter 1 for read or 2 for write access for this device, then press Enter.
• Enter the new community string, then press Enter.
Example
e 2 10.0.0.7 read public2
(then press Enter)
Delete a device (see example at right to enter parameters in one line):
• Enter d, then press Enter. No confirmation message will appear.
• Type the Entry Number, then press Enter.
Example
d2
(then press Enter)
NOTE
Avoid the following setting—it permits access by any host and may pose a security risk:
• IP address = 0.0.0.0
• Access = write
•Community = public
