SNMP Community Views

Community Name Example

6700-A2-GB20-30
Different read and write community views are used for the COMSPHERE 6700
NMS MIB and for each managed device under the COMSPHERE 6700 Device
MIB. Set up the community names for community views using the COMSPHERE
6700 Series NMS Network Configuration feature. Refer to the COMSPHERE
6700 Series Network Management System Network Configuration Guide .
NOTE:
The default community names are:
nmsAdminNmsReadCommunity = "public"
nmsAdminNmsWriteCommunity = "public"
nmsAdminBaseReadCommunity = "" (null)
nmsAdminBaseWriteCommunity = "" (null)
With the default settings, the community names for the devices are the
device names. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuration, in the COMSPHERE 6700
Series Network Management System User's Guide .
The community names for the Device MIB are generated by appending the
desired device name to the appropriate base name. Consider the following rules
when creating community names:
Community names should not be the prefix of a device name.
Write community names can be used for both read and write.
Device Call Directory MIB and Device Front Panel MIB both use the same
communities as the Device Configuration MIB. Refer to Appendix A,
Enterprise Device MIBs.
To better understand the use of community names, consider the following
example. Using community name settings as follows:
nmsAdminNmsReadCommunity = clear
nmsAdminNmsWriteCommunity =
nmsAdminBaseReadCommunity =
nmsAdminBaseWriteCommunity =
The community name for Get requests to the NMS MIB can be either "clear" or
"orange." The community name for Set requests to the NMS MIB must be
"orange."
The Device MIB community name for Get requests to a device named " modem1 "
in the Device MIB would be either "teal modem1 " or "pink modem1. " The
community name for Set requests to the device would be "pink modem1. "
To access a Dial Backup Module (DBM) within a COMSPHERE 3600 Series
DSU, the suffix ".dbm" is appended to the device community name. For example,
the DBM for a device named " DSU5 " would have a write community name of
"pink DSU5. dbm."
