Community Names Screen - Cabletron Systems IRM-3 User Manual

Community Names Screen

COMMUNITY NAMES
Select this option to designate community names for the devices attached
to your IRM3. With these names, you can set the SNMP compliant
network management workstations that will receive alarms from the
IRM3. Community names authenticate an SNMP request, since the IRM3
only responds to a community name contained in the Community Name
table.
Additionally, the Community Names screen acts as a password screen.
Any community name assigned Superuser access also acts as a password
to Local Management. Refer to Section 4.5 for more information.
SETUP
Select this option to set up parameters relating to the entire IRM3. Using
this option you can enter the IRM3 IP address, current date, and current
time. Refer to Section 4.6 for more information.
PORT ASSOCIATION
This option allows you to set the function of the IRM3 to either the AUI
port or the Fiber Optic Link port. Either port can be set as the repeater
port. Refer to Section 4.7 for more information.
TOKEN RING BOARD
This option enables you to select and monitor parameters for token ring
boards that are installed in the MMAC. Refer to Section 4.8 for more
information.
4.5 COMMUNITY NAMES SCREEN
Select the Community Names Option at the bottom of the
Device/Board/Port Counters screen (see Figure 4-4) to access the
Community Names screen shown in Figure 4-5. From this screen, you
decide the type of access SNMP workstations will have to the IRM3, and
whether those workstations will receive alarms from the device. You also
control read/write and Superuser access to your device. In addition, you
can change the password by entering new Superuser names or altering the
existing Superuser name.
