Community Name Example - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6700 Series User Manual

Management Information Bases
The community names for the Device MIB are generated by
appending the desired device name to the appropriate base
name. Consider the following rules when creating community
names:
G
Community names should not be the prefix of a device
name.
G
Write community names can be used for both reads and
writes.
G
Call Directory MIB and Front Panel MIB both use the
same communities as the Device MIB.

Community Name Example

To better understand the use of community names, consider the
following example. Using community name settings as follows:
G
nmsAdminNmsReadCommunity = clear
G
nmsAdminNmsWriteCommunity = orange
G
nmsAdminBaseReadCommunity = teal
G
nmsAdminBaseWriteCommunity = pink
The community name for Get requests to the NMS MIB can be
either "clear" or "orange." The community name for Set requests
to the NMS MIB must be "orange."
The Device MIB community name for Get requests to a device
named " modem1 " in the Device MIB would be either
"teal modem1 " or "pink modem1. " The community name for Set
requests to the device would be "pink modem1. "
To access a Dial Backup Module (DBM) within a COMSPHERE
3600 Series DSU, the suffix ".dbm" is appended to the device
community name. For example, the DBM for a device named
" DSU5 " would have a write community name of
"pink DSU5. dbm."
