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.
