Note
If you select the Disable checkbox all community strings are disabled and SNMPv1 and
v2 do not function. This has the same effect as selecting only SNMPv3 in the previous
step.
6. (Optional). Set a read-write community string.
Caution
Set a read-write community string only if you have reason to enable set operations, only
if you enabled SNMPv3 (not v1/v2/v3), and if your network is secure.

Configuring the System for SNMP
When you enable SNMP for your system, you can configure the following:
Specify an agent address. See “Setting an Agent Address” on page 255
Configure traps. See “Configuring Traps” on page 256.
Setting an Agent Address
An agent address is a specific IP address at which the SNMP agent listens and responds to
requests. The default behavior is for the SNMP agent to listen to and respond to requests on all
interfaces. If you specify one or more agent addresses, the system SNMP agent listens and
responds only on those interfaces.
You can use the agent address as another way to limit SNMP access. For example, you can limit
SNMP access to one secure internal network that uses a particular interface by configuring that
interface as the only agent address.
To set an SNMP agent address
1. Choose SNMP under Configuration in the tree view.
2. Enter the valid IP address of a configured interface in the Agent New Address field.
You can use the IP address of any existing and valid interface.
3. Click Apply.
The IP address and a corresponding Delete check box appear.
4. Click Save to make your change permanent.
