Chapter 4 Configuring the CDS
Server Level Configuration
View-Based Access Control Model
The View-based Access Control Model (VACM) is used for controlling access to management
information. The TV CDS software implements VACM by allowing configuration of each management
object (OID) or group of OIDs on a CDS server through the CDSM GUI to be exposed with read-only
or read-write access to a configured user.
Note The SNMPv2c security model that uses community strings for read-only or read-write access is still
supported. SNMPv3 USM and VACM are optional.
Trap Community Enhancements
The configuration of a per-trap-sink community string or a default community string is supported. The
supported notifications are: SNMPv1 TRAPs, SNMPv2 NOTIFICATIONS, and SNMPv2-inform
INFORM. Each trap sink, associated with a different trap station, can have an optional default
community strings to be used when sending traps. Alternatively, a default trap community string can be
configured, which is used if the per-station community string is not configured.
To configure the SNMP Agent settings for a new server, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Server Level > SNMP Agent. The SNMP Agent page is displayed.
Note If Bulk Configuration is enabled, the Configuration File Location field is displayed, along with
the Browse and Import buttons. To import a Bulk Configuration XML file, click Browse to
locate the file, then Import to import the file. The status of the import is displayed in the left
panel.
For information on enabling the Bulk Configuration feature, see the “Bulk Configuration”
section on page F-5. For information about creating a Bulk Configuration file for SNMP Agent,
see the “Creating SNMP Agent Bulk Configuration Files” section on page B-11.
Step 2 Choose the IP address of the server from the drop-down list and click Display.
Step 3 Enter the settings as appropriate. The fields are described in Table 4-43.
