Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager
B-2 117347-A Rev. A
Router Connection Options Parameters
This section describes the parameters in the Router Connection Options window.
Parameter: Node Name/IP Address
Default: None
Options: Valid host name or valid IP address
Function: Specifies the host name or IP address of the Bay Networks router with
which you want to establish a management session. The IP address you
enter becomes the default router connection address. When you open a
Site Manager tool and choose Options > Router Connection, the Router
Connection Options window displays this address.
Instructions: Enter the host name or IP address of the router. You can use the host name
to establish a management session only if it is included in the
workstation’s host file.
MIB Object ID: None
Parameter: Identity (Community)
Default: Public
Options: Any valid SNMP community name
Function: Specifies the SNMP community name you want Site Manager to use
when communicating with the router.
Instructions: Enter the SNMP community name. If you want to use the Configuration
Manager to reconfigure the router, you must enter the name of a
community with read-write access to the specified router.
On any router that is not configured with a valid SNMP community, Site
Manager configures a “public” community with a wildcard manager
(using an IP address of 0.0.0.0). This ensures that Site Manager can
access the router. You should reconfigure the “public” community, with
universal access limited to read-only privileges. For more information,
refer to Configuring SNMP, RMON, BootP, DHCP, and RARP Services.
MIB Object ID: None
