Chapter 5: Local Management
5-58 6H128-08 and 6H129-08 User’s Guide
The following explains each SNMP Community Names screen field:
Community Name (Modifiable)
Displays the user-defined name through which a user accesses 6H12X-08
management. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to
Local/Remote Management.
Access Policy (Read-Only)
Indicates the access accorded each community name. Possible selections
are as follows:
read-only This community name allows read-only access
to the 6H12X-08 MIB objects, and excludes
access to security-protected fields of read-write
or super-user authorization.
read-write This community name allows read and write
access to the 6H12X-08 MIB objects,
excluding security protected fields for
super-user access only.
super-user This community name permits read-write
access to the 6H12X-08
MIB objects and
allows the user to change all modifiable
parameters including community names, IP
addresses, traps, and SNMP objects.
5.16.1 Establishing Community Names
The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen
must have Super-User access in order to view and edit the SNMP
Community Names screen. Using a password with read-only or
read-write access does not allow the user to view or edit the SNMP
Community Names screen.
NOTE
Any community name assigned in the SNMP Community
Names screen is a password to its corresponding level of
access to Local/Remote Management. The community name
assigned Super-User access is the only one that gives the user
complete access to Local/Remote Management.
