COMMUNITY NAMES
When using Local or Remote Management tools to access the EMM-E6 it
is important that the Network Manager has the ability to maintain network
security. Community Names provide some network security by acting as
passwords into the device and the software running it. The Network
Manager (Super-user) controls access by establishing four (4) passwords.
Each of these passwords is associated with a specific level of access to the
Local Management capabilities of the EMM-E6. The Community Names
are set through the Local Management Community Name Table. Once
these are set by the Network Manager, they can be maintained in
confidence or limited to users who have a need to manage the system. The
four levels of access are:

four levels of access are:
•
Super-User - Allows full management privileges
•
Read-Write - Allows editing of device configuration parameters not
including changing Community Names
•
Read-Only - Allows reading of device parameters not including
Community names
•
Basic-Read - Allows reading low level device data

SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol within the
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite.
Network applications such as Local Management and MIB Navigator use
SNMP to manage device configurations and monitor operating
conditions. SNMP protocol defines methods for “GETs,” “SETs,” and
“TRAPs,” either remotely from any point along the TCP/IP network or
locally. This allows for control of the device from any point along the
network. SNMP tools use the MIBs located on the device to be managed
to; access information (GET), change device parameters (SET), and to
notify previously selected users that an event has occurred (TRAP).
