5. Enter the new SNMP community string. The name can be from one to
fifteen alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed.
This prompt is displayed:
Enter Access Mode [R-Read Only, W-Read/Write]:
6. Specify the access mode for the new SNMP community string. If you
specify Read, the community string will only allow you to view the
MIB objects on the switch. If you specify Read/Write, the community
string will allow you to both view and change the SNMP MIB objects
on the switch. This prompt is displayed:
Enter Open Access Status [Y-Yes, N-No]:
7. Specify the open access status. If you enter Yes, any network manager
who knows the community string can use it. If you respond with No,
making it closed access, only those management workstations whose
IP addresses you assign to the community string can use it. This
prompt is displayed:
Enter SNMP Manager IP Addr:
8. If in Step 7 you responded with No making this a closed community
string, specify the IP address of the management workstation that can
use the string. A community string can have up to eight IP addresses
of management workstations. But you can assign only one to it
initially with this procedure. To add additional IP addresses, refer to
Modifying a Community String on page 88.
If you assigned the community string an access status of open,
leave this field blank by pressing Return.
This prompt is displayed:
Enter Trap Receiver IP Addr:
9. If you want the switch to send traps to a management workstation or
server, enter the IP address of the node here. A community string can
have up to eight IP addresses of trap receivers. But you can assign
only one initially with this procedure. To add additional IP addresses,
refer to Modifying a Community String on page 88.
If you do not want to add a IP address of a trap receiver to the
community string, leave this field blank by pressing Return.
The AT-S62 software creates the new community string and adds
it to the list in the SNMP Community menu. A new community
string is immediately available for use to manage the switch.
10. If desired, repeat this procedure starting with Step 4 to create
additional community strings.
11. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
