Control | Description |
Add a New Security Name | Displays the controls to add a security name. |
Security Name | Specify a name to identify a requestor (allowed to issue gets and sets). The security name can make changes to the View Based Access Control Model (VACM) security name configuration. Note: Traps for v1 and v2c are independent of the security name. |
Community String | Specify the password-like community string to control access. Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, and numerical characters to reduce the chance of unauthorized access to the appliance. Note: If you specify a read-only community string (located on the SNMP Basic page under SNMP Server Settings), it takes precedence over this community name and enables users to access the entire MIB tree from any source host. If this is not desired, delete the read-only community string. |
Source IP Address and Mask Bits | Specify the host IP address and mask bits to that you permit access using the security name and community string. You can access the entire MIB tree from any source host using the Read-Only Community String on the SNMP Basic page. For detailed information about the SNMP Basic page, see SNMP Basic. |
