Snmp Configuration Process - HP 10Base-T Hub 24M Manual

SNMP Configuration Process

The general steps to configuring for SNMP access to the preceding features are:
1.
2.
3.
See Community Name and IP Configuration reference pages in chapter 6 for
details.
In many networks, manager addresses are not used. In this case, all manage-
ment stations using the correct community name may access this device with
the View and Access levels that have been set for that community. If you want
to restrict access to one or more specific nodes, you can enter up to 10 IP
addresses of such nodes. Configuring one or more IP addresses means that
only the network management stations at those addresses are authorized to
use the community name to access the hub.
C a u t i o n
Deleting the community named "public" disables many network management
functions (such as auto-discovery, traffic monitoring, and threshold setting).
If security for network management is a concern, it is recommended that you
change the write access for the "public" community to "Restricted".
From the Main menu, select Hub Configuration.
Enable and configure an IP address for the hub, including any necessary
gateways.
Configure the appropriate SNMP communities.
