SNMP Management

ASMi-450 Installation and Operation Manual

B-5

When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, first it checks the
originator's community: if the community name of the message originator
differs from the community name specified for that type of message in the
agent, the message it discarded (SNMP agents of managed entities report this
event by means of an authentication failure trap).

ASMi-450 Communities

The SNMP agent of the ASMi-450 can use the following community types:

Read

SNMP community that has read-only authorization, i.e., the
SNMP agent will accept only

getRequest

and

getNextRequest

commands from management stations

using that community.

The default read-only community for RAD network
management stations is

public.

Write

SNMP community that has read-write authorization, i.e., the
SNMP agent will also accept

setRequest

commands

from management stations using that community.

Trap

SNMP community which the SNMP agent will send within
trap messages.
