the same way in two places — on both the active and duplicated media servers.
To add IP addresses for CMSA access:
1. In the IP Addresses for SNMP Access section of the SNMP Agents page, check either:
- Any IP Address, to accept all incoming SNMP messages. This is the recommended
setting. Skip to Step 4.
- Following IP addresses, to accept incoming SNMP messages from a restricted list of
SNMP managers. Continue with Step 2.
2. If you selected Following IP addresses, in the IP address 1 field, type the first IP address.
3. Repeat Step 2 until all IP addresses are listed.
Note:
The server only accepts incoming SNMP messages from this restricted list of
Note:
SNMP managers. If an SNMP message is received from an IP address that is not
listed, it is dropped.

This is the SNMP version of the protocol to be used in communicating with the CMSAs on
the server.

community or user can only query for information.
