Toshiba RemotEye II User Manual page 84

The following scenarios can be used to provide guidelines when configuring RemotEye II. In all the
examples, assume the Control Group settings are:
Community Read-Only: ronly
Community Read/Write: rwrite
Also, assume the NMS has the IP Address 172.18.63.1.
Case #1: NMS is not listed in the SNMP Communities
Assume the SNMP Communities Table is empty.
Analysis: Any NMS get request will be honored when using ronly or rwrite community string. Any NMS
set requests will be honored only when using rwrite community string.
Case #2: NMS is listed in SNMP Communities with additional community strings
SNMP Communities settings:
[1] 172.18.63.1 foobar
[2] 172.18.63.1 reading
Analysis: Get requests from the NMS with IP 10 will be honored when using the reading, foobar, rwrite or
the ronly community strings. The NMS will have set ability when using either the foobar or the rwrite
community strings.
Case #3: NMS is listed in the SNMP Communities using one of the global community strings.
SNMP Communities settings:
[1] 172.18.63.1 ronly
Analysis: Both get and set requests from this NMS will be honored when using the ronly community
string. Any requests from NMS using rwrite, however, will be denied.
Case #4: NMS is listed in the SNMP Communities multiple times using the same community string.
SNMP Communities settings:
[1] 172.18.63.1 foobar
[2] 172.18.63.1 foobar
Analysis: The NMS will only be allowed to use SNMP gets when using the community string foobar. This
NMS can still use global community strings ronly for gets or rwrite for gets and sets as well.
Case #5: NMS is listed in the SNMP Communities under No Access.
SNMP Communities settings:
[1] 10.0.7.31 foobar Read
[2] 10.0.7.31 public No Access
Analysis: The NMS can perform only gets using the community string foobar. No other set or get
requests will be honored.
Case #6: NMS's first listing is in the SNMP Communities under NoAccess
Community Read-Only: ronly
Community Read/Write: rwrite
[1] 10.0.7.31 foobar No Access
[2] 10.0.7.31 public Read/Write
Analysis: All NMS get or set requests are refused.
