Table 6-6. SNMP Options (1 of 2)
Security (SNMP Security)
Gives the user the ability to configure allowable NMS IP addresses and to configure
SNMP agent.
Although SNMP community strings (if they are changed from the defaults) provide a
measure of security for unauthorized managers, enabling IP address security and
entering the IP address of up to five authorized SNMP managers provides a much
higher level of security. When IP address security is enabled, the source address of any
SNMP message addressed to any of the card's IP addresses (in either the management
or service domain) will be checked against the authorized list and will be dropped if
there is no match.
IP Address Security – Enable/Disable (Default = Disable).
Enabling allows DSLAM to accept SNMP messages from SNMP managers whose
IP source addresses have been entered in IP Address field.
NOTE: If enabled with no IP address specified or with all addresses set to No
Access (NA) permission, then there is no SNMP connectivity to the DSL
card.
Disabling stops this IP address checking and allows the card to respond to a
SNMP query from any source.
IP Address – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. Enter up to five IP source addresses of NMS
managers.
Access – ReadOnly(ro)/ReadWrite(rw)/NoAccess(na). Permission to be granted to
each NMS manager.
The following applies to additional SNMP security measures for a 5446 RTU:
Endpoint Cookie – Security string for endpoint. Enter up to eight alphanumeric
characters (Default = nosets). Once endpoint security is enabled, none of the SNMP
managers can do SNMP sets on the RTUs. SNMP gets, however, can be done.
SNMP Sets at RTU on Port (port 1-4) – Four SNMP security features to enable or
disable SNMP sets for a specific endpoint.
Logical Entities (SNMP Logical Entities)
This screen displays information contained in the logical table of the Entity MIB. Only
the Community Name field can be edited; others are read only.
I (Index) column shows the index number of DSL ports two to five.
T (Type) column shows "Remote."
Read Write Comm shows the community strings of the RTU attached to this port.
It is used when the DSLAM downloads configuration data to the RTU in a future
release.
