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:

1. Login as an administrator.
2. Navigate to System > Services and click on SNMP.
3. Click Enable, then Start.

Setting Up SNMP Access Using the CLI

To set up limited access or a different community string:

1. Telnet to the Mirapoint appliance using port 23.
2. Login as an administrator.
3. 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".

If starting SNMP with no access profiles, use the default profile of:

SNMP Add Default Default Public .1 Read Nowrite Nonotify
