Cabletron Systems STHI User Manual

Page 5-12

The SNMP Community Names screen enables the user to establish or 
modify the community names which serve as passwords to LM and to 
determine the level of security access the LM user is accorded.

Use these fields to define community name strings. Each name set in these 
fields will be accorded the security access level named on the same line to 
the right, in the Access Policy column.

The Access Policy column indicates the access status accorded to the 
corresponding community name. Three pre-configured levels of LM 
access are available:

1

This level of access allows a user partial access to view LM screens. The 
user will not be allowed to write to any field in LM, nor will the user be 
allowed to view the super-user or read-write community names.

2

This level of access allows a user to view LM screens and to change values 
set in them, including the read-only community name. The user will not 
be able to write to the IP Address, the Subnet Mask, or read-write 
community name fields, nor will the user will be allowed to view the 
super-user name.

3

This level of access is absolute and will grant a user full LM access 
privileges to read and edit any LM parameters, including community 
names.
