1.3 Assembling Conﬁguration Information

Table 1–3 (Cont.) Conﬁguration Planning Worksheet

Question Answer

Do you plan to enable SNMP? If yes:

* Do you want to allow SNMP management clients to modify the

MIBs by issuing

set

requests?

* Do you want to enable authentication traps when the master

agent receives an SNMP request that speciﬁes an unauthorized

community string?

* What is the name of the system’s contact person? Specify text as

in the following example: Sam Spade.

* What is the location of the system? Specify one or two ﬁelds of

text as in the following three examples:

- Falcon Building, Los Angeles

- Boston, MA

- Northwest

* Do you want to allow any network manager to remotely monitor

your system? If so, you need to specify a public community

name. The default is ‘‘public.’’ Specify a string consisting of

alphanumeric characters only. Do not enclose the string in quotes:

the case is preserved as you enter it. Example: Rw2.

* Do you want to provide additional community names and

addresses (for implementing traps and allowing access beyond

the default read-only provided by the ‘‘public’’ community)?
