System Passwords

You can control access to the CSX200 by the use of three passwords. Each password provides a
different level of access to the CSX200. The default password for each access level is pre-set to
public. The following definitions explain the levels of access:
allows reading of device parameters not including system passwords.
read-only —

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The CSX200 provides SNMP agent support for standard, and Enterprise-Specific Management
Information Bases (MIBs), and support for standard, and Enterprise-Specific SNMP Traps. SNMP
is also used internally for configuration of the CSX200. The active SNMP agent within the
CSX200 accepts SNMP requests for status, statistics, and configuration updates. Communication
with the SNMP agent occurs over the LAN or WAN connection. Any management application
using SNMP over UDP/IP
SNMP MIB Support
