• NMS Hostname, IPv4 Address/Name—The IPv4 IP address,
hostname, or subnet of the machines that can execute get and set requests
to the managed devices. The valid range is from 1 to 256 characters.
As with community names, this provides a level of security on SNMP
settings. The SNMP agent will only accept requests from the IP address,
hostname, or subnet specified here.
To specify a subnet, enter one or more subnetwork address ranges in the
form address/mask_length where
mask_length is the number of mask bits. Both formats address/mask and
address/mask_length are supported. For example, if you enter a range of
192.168.1.0/24 this specifies a subnetwork with address 192.168.1.0 and
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
The address range is used to specify the subnet of the designated NMS.
Only machines with IP addresses in this range are permitted to execute, get,
and set requests on the managed device. Given the example above, the
machines with addresses from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 can
execute SNMP commands on the device. (The address identified by suffix .0
in a subnetwork range is always reserved for the subnet address, and the
address identified by .255 in the range is always reserved for the broadcast
address).
As another example, if you enter a range of 10.10.1.128/25 machines with
IP addresses from 10.10.1.129 through 10.10.1.254 can execute SNMP
requests on managed devices. In this example, 10.10.1.128 is the network
address and 10.10.1.255 is the broadcast address. 126 addresses would
be designated.
• NMS IPv6 Address/Name—The IPv6 IP address, DNS hostname, or subnet
of the machines that can execute, get, and set requests to the managed
devices. The IPv6 address should be in a form similar to
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91). The
valid range is from 1 to 253 characters.
• Trap Community Name—A global community string associated with SNMP
traps. Traps sent from the device will provide this string as a community
name. The valid range is from 1 to 60 characters, in alphanumeric format and
can include special characters.
• Trap Destination Table—A list of up to three IP addresses or hostnames to
receive SNMP traps. The valid range is from 1 to 63 characters. Select the
checkbox and choose a Host Type (IPv4 or IPv6) before adding the IP
Address/Hostname.
