Conclusion
The community strings act like passwords in dealing with the device via SNMP protocol. By changing the
community strings for read / write ('private' in these examples) and read only (public) access, and assigning a
community string to an access IP, an administrator can control access to the FRM220A. Community string names
are case sensitive, therefore 'puBlic', 'Public' and 'public' are all different strings.
Now that both the 'System' and 'SNMP' settings are complete, the FRM220A is ready to be managed remotely
over an IP network. The system provides a Telnet server feature that allows login over TCP/IP networks and
provides a text based menu display.
The FRM220A-GSW/SNMP is supplied with an enterprise MIB file (Management Information Base) that can be
compiled into any standard SNMP network management software. The MIB file complies with MIB-II and ANS.1
standards.
Later in Chapter 3, we will describe in detail the operation of the Web based management. This graphical
management allows control of the gigabit Ethernet switch and the inserted cards in a convenient and popular
WWW environment. When using web based management, the actual communications between the browser and
the GSW/SNMP card is via standard HTTP protocol.
Please refer to Appendix A for detailed configuration of the FRM220A available converter cards.
