SNMP Communities
SNMP Version 1 and Version 2c support an access control model based upon community
names. An SNMP community defines a name and a set of permissions for that community name
– each SNMP request received by a Datacryptor unit is labeled with the originator’s community
name – so the unit can decide whether to permit or deny the request.
These community strings will be utilized by the device to determine whether or not to allow
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c requests. To disable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c requests, deselect the Enable
SNMP tick boxes located above the communities list.
To add a new SNMP community:
1. Select the Communities tab.
2. Click the Add button – the Add Community dialog is shown:
3. Enter the Name for this community.
4. Select the type of Access for the members of this community: Read Only, Write Only or
Read/Write.
