SNMP Community Strings

In SNMP v1/v2c, the SNMP Community String is sent unencrypted in the SNMP

packets. Caution must be taken by the network administrator to ensure that SNMP

packets travel only over a secure and private network if security is a concern.

The CPA uses Community Strings as a password scheme that provides authentication before

gaining access to the CPA agent’s MIBs. They are used to authenticate users and determine

access privileges to the SNMP agent.

Type the SNMP Community String into the user-supplied MIB Browser or Network Node

Management software. You may define three Community Strings for SNMP access:

Read Community

default = public

Write Community

default = private

Trap Community

default = comtech

For proper SNMP operation, the CPA MIB files must be used with the associated

version of the CPA Series Downconverter M&C. Refer to the CPA FW Release Notes

for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
