5-32 2E42-27/2E42-27R/2E43-27/2E43-27R 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 the
2E4X-27 SNMP 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 gives the user read-only
access to the 2E4X-27 MIB objects, and
excludes access to security-protected fields of
read-write or super-user authorization.
read-write This community name gives the user read-write
access to the 2E4X-27 MIB objects, excluding
security protected fields for Super-User access
only.
super-user This community name gives the user read-write
access to the 2E4X-27
MIB objects and allows
the user to change all modifiable parameters
including community names, IP addresses,
traps, and SNMP objects.
5.8.1 Establishing Community Names
The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen
must have super-user access 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 Management. The community name assigned
super-user access is the only one that gives the user complete
access to Local Management.
