  • Page 36: Appendix

    9. Appendix This section discusses: Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses, and Subnet masking. Communities A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.” For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding.
  • Page 37 A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for different sub-networks on the same logical network. Like IP addresses, subnet masks consist of four octets in dotted decimal notation. You can use subnet masks to route and filter the transmission of IP packets among your sub-networks.

  • Page 38: Troubleshooting

    10. Troubleshooting Problem: The NMS cannot ping the SNMP-32 card. Solution: Make sure the network connection to the SNMP-32 card is good. Solution: Make sure the cable is in good condition. Solution: Make sure to set the Community String. Name the community with any lowercase name. A UPS monitors a designated community.
