Controlling SNMP Access

Assigning SNMP Community Names and Access Levels

Limiting SNMP Access through the IP Addresses

7-6
There are three methods for limiting SNMP access.
Disable the SNMP management option.
Assign SNMP community names and access levels. The DSU/CSU supports
SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through the use of
community names.
Limit SNMP access through validation of the IP address of each allowed
SNMP manager.
The DSU/CSU can be managed by an SNMP manager supporting the SNMP
protocol. The community name must be supplied by an external SNMP manager
accessing an object in the MIB.
To define SNMP community names, follow this menu selection sequence:
Main Menu Configuration
SNMP & Communication
Refer to General SNMP Management
Enable SNMP Management.
Assign the SNMP community names of the SNMP Managers that are allowed
to access the DSU/CSU's Management Information Base (MIB).
Specify read or read-write access for each SNMP community name.
The DSU/CSU provides an additional level of security through validation of the
IP addresses.
The SNMP Management option must be enabled. To control SNMP access with
IP addresses, follow this menu selection sequence:
Main Menu Configuration
SNMP & Communication
Refer to SNMP NMS Security
limited by:
Enabling NMS IP address validation to perform validation checks on the
IP address of an SNMP management system attempting to access the
DSU/CSU.
Specifying read or read-write access for each NMS authorized to access the
unit.
