read only access.

Get Password

The get password variable (configGetPass) must be set to the value

of the community name used by the SNMP manager for

performing get operations. A zero length password means that any

community name is acceptable.

Aging Parameter

Dynamic (learned) addresses are automatically deleted from the

ATX address table after a certain length of time. The aging time

default is 5 minutes as set by the IEEE 802.1d standard. However,

the aging parameter can be changed, using the MIB variable

dot1dTpAgingTime.

The ATX continually compares the actual age of each dynamic

address against the age speciﬁed by the dot1dTpAgingTime

parameter and deletes any addresses that are older than the age

speciﬁed (or older than 5 minutes if you are using the default).

Since most communication takes place within a very short period

of time, the aging parameter can usually be set for a relatively

short time.

Note: Static addresses (those added by the user) are not aged.

Traps (acknowledge)

The ATX can be conﬁgured to retransmit traps (alarms) until the

traps are acknowledged by the NMS.
