ROM Monitor Commands
allow_snmp_sets
This command enables or disables the RAC's ability to accept and process
SNMP set commands.
The command syntax is:
allow_snmp_sets [-d]
If you enter the allow_snmp_sets command without the –d argument,
you will be prompted to change the current setting of the parameter. The
allow_snmp_sets -d command displays the current setting.
When disabled (the default), the RAC rejects all SNMP set commands;
the RAC SNMP agent returns the error "no such name" for the first object
in the set command.
Enabling allow_snmp_sets configures the RAC to accept SNMP set
commands from any source. SNMP Version 1 is inherently a non-secure
protocol. SNMP bypasses the RAC's security measures. If security is a
concern, you should consider taking the following security measures:
Use the na utility or admin to change the community string default to a
less common string name. Institute a filter on any firewall router to block
SNMP traffic from outside the local network. Refer to Managing Remote
Access Concentrators Using Command Line Interfaces for more
information.
