AUTHENTICATION [FAILURE]
When enabled, the access server can emit authentication failure traps. These traps
are sent when an unauthorized host attempts to access the access server or when a
host uses an unauthorized SNMP request. The traps are sent to all communities in
the access server SNMP database for which TRAP is ENABLED. When disabled,
the access server does not emit authentication failure traps. The default is
ENABLED.
COMMUNITY
Used to add a community name or specify a community’s characteristics in the
access server community database. A default community named PUBLIC is
preset in the community database; the default characteristics of the community
database are ADDRESS ANY, GET ENABLED, GETNEXT ENABLED, SET
DISABLED, and TRAP DISABLED.
community-name
An ASCII string, maximum length 32 printable characters per community-name,
enclosed in double quotes (" "). If the number of characters for any one name
exceeds 32 characters, the name will be truncated to 32 characters. Each
community-name will be associated with either ADDRESS ANY or with one
particular inet-address. The default is ANY.
ADDRESS inet-address
The Internet address of the remote host, in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. If the
correct form is provided, both the community name and address are checked
before the access server allows access to its databases. An error message appears if
the inet-address is not in the correct form. Assigning an inet-address to a community
name increases the number of overhead characters (requires from 2 characters to 6
characters to store the information). For more information, refer to the community-
name.
ANY
Specify ANY to configure the server to accept SNMP messages from any inet-
address associated with that community. You can also specify ANY to dissociate
the community from any specific inet-address. This will delete a previously
specified inet-address.
GET
When enabled, allows members of the community to read values from the server
management information base (MIB). The default is ENABLED.
TRAP must be disabled before setting ADDRESS to ANY.
