Setting Community Names
The Community Names of the physical device is set from the Front Panel of the
device itself, or by issuing commands in a Telnet session.
To set the Read/Write Community Names of the device as configured in
OpenView, you must use the SNMP Configuration dialog as described in the
following procedure.
" Procedure
1. Click on the OpenView Options menu and select SNMP Configuration . The
SNMP Configuration dialog appears.
2. Enter the Read Community Name and the Write Community Name in the
Community and Set Community text input fields, respectively.
3. Click on OK to apply the changes and close the dialog.
For 8600, 8800, and 8810 devices, each DSL and MCC card contains its own
SNMP agent; hence, the Community Names for each card must be set by using
the instructions in this section.
For 5446 RTUs, the default Set Community Name is private, not public as it is
with most devices.
