SNMP Security (Community Names)

SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of security by requiring
that each request include a community name. A community name is an arbi-
trary string of characters used as a

assword” to control access to the hub.

If the hub receives a request with a community name it does not recognize, it
will trigger an authentication trap, provided this feature has not been dis-
abled.

The DFE-2600 series master hubs allow up to four different community
names to be defined, and the access rights for each community can be sepa-
rately set to either read only or read/write. The status for each string can be
toggled to either valid or invalid. The community names public and private
are defined by default; you can change these names in addition to adding
others. You will need to coordinate these names with the community name
settings you use in your network management system.
