10.1.3SNMP Manager Configuration
The SNMP Manager Configuration screen is used to define an SNMP community for
controlling the access to the SNMP variables in the Management Information Base (MIB) of
this SNMP agent. The MIB variables include the entire MIB2 variables along with the
controllers private MIB variables. Each of the communities must be defined by a case
sensitive name, that is compared to each manager's access requests.
Additional qualifications can optionally be imposed by the source IP address of an SNMP
request message. Specifying a community must match one of the IP addresses of that
community. If no IP address is defined for a community, access will be allowed from any
source IP address. If the addresses are defined for a community, then only messages
originating from one of those IP addresses will be accepted.
NOTE: This is an optional screen. Define this screen only if specific limitations are
requested; for example, limited access of controlled data to specific communities. If fields
are left blank, no limits for SNMP is requested.
This is an optional parameter naming a Gateway (physically
connected to the LAN of the Slot) whose IP address is known.
Value = up to 16 alphanumeric case insensitive characters.
The netid of the gateway-IP address and the netid of the slot IP
address must be the same since the gateways listed here, and
the TCP/IP cards are connected to the same local Network. If
this local Network is a Subnet, then the subnet ids must also be
the same.
Value = Four groups of three decimal numbers, the groups being
separated by dots. Adhere to the class type and address
restrictions.
The ID of the physically connected network to which this Gateway
can route datagrams.
Note: If it is a smart gateway (one that knows to route to any
remote network), enter [0.0.0.0]
If this gateway connects subnets, enter the netid, including the
subnet ID.
