Asanté SNMP MacAgent

Read-community

Enter public (default), allowing the Asanté network management sta-
tion to query SNMP MacAgent and get information about the station.

Write-community

Enter private (default). This allows the Asanté network management
station to query SNMP MacAgent remotely.

Note: The defaults for Read-community and Write-commu-
nity should be used unless you are told otherwise by your
network administrator.

Trap-community

Enter public. (Trap is the SNMP term for alarm or alert.) Public is
usually the default for the SNMP configuration. However, if there is
any question, please contact your network administrator. SNMP
MacAgent sends traps to the Asanté network management station for
two events: restarting your Macintosh and authentication violation.

Trap IP Address

The IP address to which the workstation sends traps. This is usually
the Asanté management station IP address.

Authentication Trap (On/Off)

This is ON by default. This station sends a trap to the Asanté manage-
ment station if accessed by an SNMP management console with the
wrong read or write community string.

SNMP Agent (On/Off)

This is also ON by default. If SNMP Agent is OFF, the agent does not
send information to the Asanté management station.
