11.6 SNMP Interface Details
This section describes details of the SNMP interface that is required when developing an Element
Manager (EM) for any of the TrunkPack-VoP Series products, or to manage a device with a MIB
browser.
Currently, both SNMP and ini file commands and downloads are not encrypted. For ini file
encoding, refer to Section
6.1 on page 87 .
11.6.1 SNMP Community Names
By default, the device uses a single, read-only community string of ‘public’ and a single read-write
community string of ‘private’.
Users can configure up to 5 read-only community strings and up to 5 read-write community
strings, and a single trap community string is supported:
11.6.1.1 Configuration of Community Strings via the ini File
SNMPREADONLYCOMMUNITYSTRING_<x> = '#######'
SNMPREADWRITECOMMUNITYSTRING_<x> = '#######'
where <x> is a number between 0 and 4, inclusive. Note that the '#' character represents any
alphanumeric character. The maximum length of the string is 20 characters.
11.6.1.2 Configuration of Community Strings via SNMP
To configure read-only and read-write community strings, the EM must use the srCommunityMIB.
To configure the trap community string, the EM must also use the snmpVacmMIB and the
snmpTargetMIB.
To add a read-only community string (v2user):
• Add a new row to the srCommunityTable with CommunityName v2user and GroupName
ReadGroup.
To delete the read-only community string (v2user), take these 2 steps:
1. If v2user is being used as the trap community string, follow the procedure for changing the
trap community string (see below).
2. Delete the srCommunityTable row with CommunityName v2user.
To add a read-write community string (v2admin):
• Add a new row to the srCommunityTable with CommunityName of v2admin and GroupName
ReadWriteGroup.
To delete the read-write community string (v2admin), take these 2
steps:
1. If v2admin is being used as the trap community string, follow the procedure for changing the
trap community string. (See below.)
2. Delete the srCommunityTable row with a CommunityName of v2admin and GroupName of
ReadWriteGroup.
