AlterPath OnSite Administrator’s and User’s Guide
The values you need to complete the screen and associated dialog boxes are
explained in the following table.
The OnSite SNMP agent supports SNMP v1, v2 and v3. To use SNMP v1 or
v2, you need to specify a community name, source IP address or range of
addresses, an object ID (OID), and permission (read-write or read-only).
SNMP v3 requires: user name, password, OID, and permission.
Table 6-25: Fields and Menu Options for SNMP Configuration
Field or Menu Option Description
SysContact
The email address of the OnSite’s administrator, for example,
[e-mail].
SysLocation
The physical location of the OnSite.
Community
SNMP v1 and v2 only. The community name is sent in every
communication between the client and the server, and the
community name must be correct before requests are allowed.
Communities are further defined by the type of access specified
under “Permission”: either read only or read write. The most
common community is “public” and it should not be used
because it is so commonly known. By default, the public
community cannot access SNMP information on the OnSite.
Source
SNMP v1 and v2 only. Valid entries are “default” or a subnet
address, for example, 193.168.44.0/24.
Object Identifier. Each managed object has a unique identifier.
Select the permission type:
Read Only - Read-only access to the entire MIB (Management
Information Base) except for SNMP configuration objects.
Read/Write - Read-write access to the entire MIB except for
SNMP configuration objects.
OID
Permission
User Name and
Password
SNMP v3 only.
