Remote users are used only to send InformRequests.
When the domain is in FIPS mode, the following default values are pre-populated:
• Minimum security level = AUTHPRIV

Adding SNMP access
By configuring addresses on the SNMP Access screen, administrators can control which SNMP clients
receive responses from VCM when they query for SNMP information.
To add an SNMP access, right-click the header row of the SNMP Access table, or click Add at the bottom of
the SNMP Access table.
1. Enter a unique IP address for the network to be given access:
a. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 radio button.
b. Enter the IP address, including a valid network mask bits value (1-32).
2. Click OK to save the information and return to the main SNMP configuration screen.
If you enter information that is invalid (for example, if you use a space in the IP address), a red box appears
around that field. Hover the mouse over the box to see information regarding the error.
