Checking the Community String
You can use the default community name or community string of public.
However, choosing a community name other than public provides more security
because it limits the communication to only those computers that have
the specified community string.
- For Windows 2000 or Windows 2003, in the Control Panel window, double-click the
Administrative Tools icon, and then click the Services tab if it is not already selected.
- In the Network Services list, scroll to the SNMP service,
click once to select it, and then click Properties.
The Microsoft SNMP Properties window is displayed.
NOTE: If you do not have the SNMP service installed, you can
install it by clicking Add in the Network window.
The Select Network Service window is displayed, from which
you can select SNMP Service.
- Click the Security tab in the Microsoft SNMP Properties
window to display the Security settings.
- Make sure that the community name or community string that you want
to use for the server is specified in the Accepted Community Names
list.
If the name is not already on the list, click Add to display
the Service Configuration window. Type the new name in the entry field and click
Add in that window. The Security tab is displayed with the new
name on the Accepted Community Names list.
NOTE: Community names or community strings are case-sensitive.
- (Optional) If desired, change the default setting of Accept SNMP
Packets from Any Host to Only Accept SNMP Packets from These
Hosts and add the network address of the enterprise management computer
that receives the traps from the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service agent on the server.
To add the network address of the computer with Configuration
Service management console software to the lower list box, click
Add to access the Security Configuration window. Type
the IP address in the Entry box and click Add in that
window. The Security tab reappears with the Sun StorEdge
Configuration Service management console computer's address.
- Click OK.
