Setting up the Annex for SNMP

Annex Manager User Guide
21-4
Before Annex Manager (or any other SNMP network management
application) can monitor or manage the Annex, you must define certain
configuration data, including the SNMP Community String and the
and
disabled_modules allow_snmp_sets
Defining the Community String
Each SNMP message contains a Community String in its header. The
receiving SNMP agent attempts to match the message string with an
existing Community String list. If there is no match, the SNMP agent
discards the message without responding to the sender.
Annex Manager uses one of the Community Strings defined in the Annex
configuration file. This file, which is downloaded during Annex
initialization, defines up to four Community Strings. If the file does not
contain community strings,
of read-only or read-write communities. For detailed information about
the SNMP Community String syntax, please refer to the Remote Annex
Administrator's Guide for UNIX.
