The following explains each SNMP Community Names screen field:

Community Name (Modifiable)

Displays the user-defined name through which a user accesses 6C105
management. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to
Local/Remote Management.

Access Policy (Read-Only)

Indicates the access accorded each community name. Possible selections
are as follows:

read-only

This community name allows read-only access
to the 6C105 MIB objects, and excludes access
to security-protected fields of read-write or
super-user authorization.

read-write

This community name allows read and write
access to the 6C105 MIB objects, excluding
security protected fields for super-user access
only.

super-user

This community name permits read-write
access to the 6C105

MIB objects and allows the

user to change all modifiable parameters
including community names, IP addresses,
traps, and SNMP objects.

5.8.1

Establishing Community Names

The password used to access Local Management at the Password screen
must have Super-User access in order to view and edit the SNMP
Community Names screen. Using a password with read-only or
read-write access does not allow the user to view or edit the SNMP
Community Names screen.

NOTE

Any community name assigned in the SNMP Community
Names screen is a password to its corresponding level of
access to Local Management. The community name assigned
Super-User access is the only one that gives the user complete
access to Local Management.
