Enterasys 6000 User Guide

The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen must have super-user 
access to view and edit the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen. Using a password 
with read-only or read-write access does not allow the viewing or editing of the SNMP 
Community Names Configuration screen.

To establish community names, proceed as follows:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent to the selected access 

level.

2. Enter the password in the field (maximum 31 characters).

3. Press ENTER.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.

5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press 

ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays. The community names are saved to memory and 
their access modes implemented.

Access Policy 
(Read-Only)

Indicate the access accorded each community name. The available 
access levels are as follows:

read-only

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

read-write

This community name gives the user read-write access 
to the switch module MIB objects, excluding security 
protected fields for Super-User access only.

super-user

This community name gives the user read-write access 
to the switch module

 

MIB objects and allows the user 

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

NOTE: Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED?” message to display at the top 
left of the screen. Edits are lost if they are not saved before exiting.
