access

control

You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which NMSs have

access to this device. The opening page for access control, by default, assigns one

entry to each of the four available SNMPv1 communities, but you can edit these

settings to apply more than one entry to any community to grant access by several

specific IP addresses, host names, or IP address masks. To edit the access control

settings for a community, click its community name.

• If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that

community has access to this device from any location on the network.

• If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of

four entries requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access

control entry. If no access control entry is listed for a community, that community has

no access to this device.

Community Name: The name that a Network Management System (NMS) must use

to access the community. The maximum length is 15 ASCII characters, and the

default community names for the four communities are "public," "private," "public2,"

and "private2."

NMS IP/Host Name: The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls

access by NMSs. A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows

access only by the NMS at that location. IP addresses that contain 255 restrict access

as follows:

• 149.225.12.255: Access only by a NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.

• 149.225.255.255: Access only by a NMS on the 149.225 segment.

• 149.255.255.255: Access only by a NMS on the 149 segment.

• 0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as 255.255.255.255:

Access by any NMS on any segment.

Access Type: The actions a NMS can perform through the community.

• Read: GETS only, at any time.

• Write: GETS at any time, and SETS when no user is logged onto the Web interface

or Control Console.

• Write+: GETS and SETS at any time.

• Disabled: No GETS or SETS at any time.
