Host Table - Dell PowerConnect 3048 User Manual

Host Table

From the Host Table page, you can add and remove hosts from access rights
that have been granted to community groups. The permissions GET, SET,
and TRAP are assigned to a community name and then these permissions
are assigned to individual machines by adding those machines and their IP
addresses to the appropriate community string. Host authorization can be
enabled or disabled.
If the host authorization is disabled (the default setting), the switch allows
any SNMP manager to access the switch. If the host authorization is
enabled, the administrator can specify up to 16 SNMP managers on the
host table that can access the switch.
You must enable host authorization before you can use the host table. Host
authorization is a security feature to limit people who are not listed in the
host table from accessing the switch.
Once you have enabled host authorization, you must add the host to this
table through the console port connection. Otherwise, the switch cannot
access the end station using SNMP .
