Figure 109 SNMP configuration for system information, community strings, and traps
Take note of the following requirements when defining SNMP system information:
● To set the system information on an appliance, the community string must be defined as read/write, as
described in “Community Strings” on page 314.
● System information can contain alphanumeric characters and spaces. The following special characters
are not allowed: < > “ &
Community Strings
By default the ETEP disregards SNMP requests from a network management station. A community name
must be defined for the network management station to monitor and collect statistics from the appliance.
The community name identifies a group of devices and management stations running SMNP. An SNMP
device or agent can belong to more than one SNMP community. An appliance will not respond to
requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities.
To define a community name:
1 Under Community Strings, click Add.
2In the Access box, select an access option. A read-only community name allows queries of the SNMP
agent in the appliance. A read-write community name allows a network management station to
perform queries and limited set operations (system location and contact).
3In the Value box, enter an SNMP community name. The name is a text string of alphanumeric
characters, with a maximum length of 255. All printable characters are valid except: < > “ &
4Click OK.
