Cabletron Systems 6E132-25 User Manual

The following explains each SNMP Community Names screen field:

Community Name (Modifiable)

Displays the user-defined name through which a user accesses 6C105 
management. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to 
Local/Remote Management.

Access Policy (Read-Only)

Indicates the access accorded each community name. Possible selections 
are as follows:

read-only 

This community name allows read-only access 
to the 6C105 MIB objects, and excludes access 
to security-protected fields of read-write or 
super-user authorization.

read-write 

This community name allows read and write 
access to the 6C105 MIB objects, excluding 
security protected fields for super-user access 
only.

super-user 

This community name permits read-write 
access to the 6C105

 

MIB objects and allows the 

user to change all modifiable parameters 
including community names, IP addresses, 
traps, and SNMP objects.

The password used to access Local Management at the Password screen 
must have Super-User access in order to view and edit the SNMP 
Community Names screen. Using a password with read-only or 
read-write access does not allow the user to view or edit the SNMP 
Community Names screen.

Any community name assigned in the SNMP Community 
Names screen is a password to its corresponding level of 
access to Local Management. The community name assigned 
Super-User access is the only one that gives the user complete 
access to Local Management.
