NET.CFG Options Reference
Desktop SNMP Option
For example, if you disable the control community, no one can use Desktop
SNMP to do SET operations against the data it manages.
For examples of complete files, see “Example of NET.CFG Files Using the
Community Name and Types.”
Desktop SNMP reads the community name definition as follows, depending
on the enable community_type community line:
Table 2-3 Desktop SNMP Option Values for Community Type Parameters
Value Explanation
Any
If enable community_type community is set to
“any” for a community type, any community
string can be used to gain access. The line defining
the community name can be omitted. If it is
present, Desktop SNMP ignores it.
For trap community strings, the “any” option is not
applicable. If you specify enable trap community
any, Desktop SNMP interprets the line as if the
community type were specified.
Off If enable community_type community is set to
“off” for a community type, access for that
community type is disabled. The line defining the
community name can be omitted. If the line is
present, Desktop SNMP ignores it.
Omitted If enable community_type community is set to
“omitted” for a specific community type, Desktop
SNMP defaults to “specified” for that community
type and looks for a line defining a community
name for the community type. If no community
name is specified, Desktop SNMP defaults to
“public.”
Specified If enable community_type community is set to
“specified” for a community type, Desktop SNMP
uses only the specified community name for that
community type. If none is specified, Desktop
SNMP defaults to “public.”
