Conﬁguring for SNMP Access

17-6

When you create a community name without specifying an address the access

server assigns the default address ANY. The address ANY enables any NMS that

knows this community name to GET or SET information about the access server.

Example: Conﬁguring Community Names for Access by Any NMS

The following example shows how to create the community name SNUGS

without specifying an address:

Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "SNUGS" SET ENABLED

Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED

Conﬁguring a Community Name with an Address

You can conﬁgure a community name so that only an NMS with a given address

can access the access server with SNMP commands. Use the CHANGE SNMP

COMMUNITY community-name ADDRESS command to conﬁgure the

community name in this way.

Example: Conﬁguring Community Names for Access from a Speciﬁc NMS

The following example shows how to create community name BUGS. Only the

NMS with the address 195.1.1.1 can GET or SET information about the server:

Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" ADDRESS 195.1.1.1

Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "BUGS" SET ENABLED

Local> CHANGE SNMP ENABLED

One IP Address for a Community Name

Each community name can have only one IP address assigned. The access server

rejects the addresses 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. By default, GET and GETNEXT

are enabled when you create a community name.

Conﬁguring Community Names to Send TRAP Messages

You can optionally conﬁgure the access server to send TRAP messages to a

speciﬁc NMS for each community name. The access server generates TRAP

messages in response to the events listed in the following table:

This Event: Occurs When:

Cold start The access server was reinitialized.
