Access with SNMP management systems

For the administration of networks with the help of SNMP tools such as HP OpenView, the various levels of administrator access can be used for the precise control of rights.

Under SNMP, user name and password are coded in the "community". Here, the 'public' community can be selected or one of either the master password or a combination of user name and password divided by a colon can be selected.

Note: The community 'public' corresponds with the rights of a local administrator with read-only access, as long as the SNMP read access without password is enabled. If this access is not allowed, then the 'public' community will have access to no menus at all.

Otherwise, the same limitations on rights apply for the menus as with Telnet.
