Setup SNMP Agent Community

Overview

This function sets up the SNMP Agent Community.

The Community is a range of available networks for SNMP.

The setting value is used as the password for SNMP Manager to access the SNMP Agent of the storage system.

The SNMP Agent only accepts a request from SNMP Manager if the specified community names for SNMP Manager and SNMP Agent are the same.

Up to ten communities can be specified for each storage system.

Caution

  • If the "SNMP Function" is disabled, this function cannot be used.

  • The community name that is used in the [Setup SNMP Agent Trap] cannot be changed or deleted.

  • This function must be used when using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c in SNMP communication between the SNMP Agent and the SNMP Manager. This setting is not necessary when using SNMPv3 only.

Note

  • The SNMP Managers which are allowed to access, and the MIB access range, can be specified for each community.
