Issue
How do I set up the Mirapoint appliance for SNMP access?
Solution
Services can be configured through the Administration Suite or the CLI:
- To enable SNMP read-only access for everyone using the read-only community string public, use the Administration Suite.
- To set up limited access or a different community string, use the CLI.
Setting Up SNMP Access Using the Administration Suite
To enable SNMP read-only access for everyone using the read-only community string public:
- Login as an administrator.
- Navigate to System > Services and click on SNMP.
- Click Enable, then Start.
Setting Up SNMP Access Using the CLI
To set up limited access or a different community string:
- Telnet to the Mirapoint appliance using port 23.
- Login as an administrator.
- Add specific access or a different SNMP community string:
cli> Snmp Setaccess label source community oid Read Nowrite Nonotify
Where:
- label is any label you want to refer to this access again using, for example you can use the name of the appliance you are granting access
- source is the IP address of the appliance you are granting access to, use default to grant access to everyone
- community is the community string you would like to use for the appliance you are granting access to
- oid is the OID string you are giving access to, to give access to all OIDs use ".1".
|
NOTE: Only read-only community strings are supported. The write and notify options are placeholders for enhancements. Once you have created an access list entry, the default public read-only access is disabled. |
If starting SNMP with no access profiles, use the default profile of:
SNMP Add Default Default Public .1 Read Nowrite Nonotify
