To change the trap community string, take these 2 steps:
(The following procedure assumes that a row already exists in the srCommunityTable for the new
trap community string. The trap community string can be part of the TrapGroup, ReadGroup or
ReadWriteGroup. If the trap community string is used solely for sending traps (recommended), it
should be made part of the TrapGroup).
1. Add a row to the vacmSecurityToGroupTable with these values: SecurityModel=2,
SecurityName=the new trap community string, GroupName=TrapGroup, ReadGroup or
ReadWriteGroup. The SecurityModel and SecurityName objects are row indices.
Note: You must add GroupName and RowStatus on the same set.
2. Modify the SecurityName field in the sole row of the snmpTargetParamsTable.
11.6.2 Trusted Managers
By default, the agent accepts ‘get’ and ‘set’ requests from any IP address, as long as the correct
community string is used in the request. Security can be enhanced via the use of Trusted
Managers. A Trusted Manager is an IP address from which the SNMP Agent accepts and
processes ‘get’ and ‘set’ requests. An EM can be used to configure up to 5 Trusted Managers.
Note: If Trusted Managers are defined, all community strings work from all Trusted
Managers. That is, there is no way to associate a community string with
particular trusted managers.
11.6.2.1 Configuration of Trusted Managers via ini File
To set the Trusted Mangers table from start-up, write the following in the ini file:
SNMPTRUSTEDMGR_X = D.D.D.D
where X is any integer between 0 and 4 (0 sets the first table entry, 1 sets the second, and so
on), and D is an integer between 0 and 255.
11.6.2.2 Configuration of Trusted Managers via SNMP
To configure Trusted Managers, the EM must use the srCommunityMIB, the snmpTargetMIB and
the TGT-ADDRESS-MASK-MIB.
To add the first Trusted Manager, take these 3 steps:
(The following procedure assumes that there is at least one configured read-write community.
There are currently no Trusted Managers. The taglist for columns for all srCommunityTable rows
are currently empty).
1. Add a row to the snmpTargetAddrTable with these values: Name=mgr0, TagList=MGR,
Params=v2cparams.
2. Add a row to the tgtAddressMaskTable table with these values: Name=mgr0,
tgtAddressMask=255.255.255.255:0. The agent doesn’t allow creation of a row in this table
unless a corresponding row exists in the snmpTargetAddrTable.
3. Set the value of the TransportLabel field on each non-TrapGroup row in the
srCommunityTable to MGR.
