SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES SCREEN

The SNMP Community Names menu item allows the user to set
Local/Remote Management community names. Community names act as
passwords to Local/Remote Management and are agents of security
access to the 6E123-50 and 6E133-49. Access to the 6E123-50 and
6E133-49 is controlled by enacting any of three different levels of
security authorization (read-only, read-write, and super-user).
If the 6C105 has been assigned community names, it is not
NOTE
necessary to assign community names to the individual
modules installed in the chassis unless the user wishes to limit
access to 6C105 chassis screens by assigning different
community names to the module. When this is done access is
limited to the screens specific to the module to which the
terminal is attached and the Local Management session begins
at the Module Menu screen.
Super-User access gives the user full management privileges,
allows existing passwords to be changed, and all modifiable
MIB objects for the Cabletron Container MIB and Internet
MIB-II to be accessed.
Access the SNMP Community Names screen from the Module
Configuration Menu screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the
SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES menu item and pressing ENTER. The
SNMP Community Names screen,
5-56
Figure 5-22, displays.
