CHAPTER 6: LOCAL MANAGEMENT
6-8 SEHI USER’S GUIDE
Community names are set through the Community Name Table option.
Community names are passwords to Local Management and they are
agents of security control to the SEHI. SEHI access is controlled by
establishing up to four different levels of security authorization:
Basic-Read, Read-Only, Read-Write, and Super-User.
With Super-User access, the user changes the existing passwords by
changing the community names. Only the community name assigned
Super-User access has full management privileges.
The following sections explain each field on the Community Name Table
screen and provides instructions on how to change them.
Community Name
Displays the user-defined name through which a user can access Local
Management for the SEHI. Any community name assigned here acts as a
password to Local Management.
Access
Indicates the access status accorded each community name. Possible
conditions are:
Basic-Read This allows read only access to Local
Management, but excludes read privileges to
the Component Trap screen.
Read-Only This allows read only access to Local
Management, but excludes access to security
protected fields of the upper levels of
authorization (Read-Write or Super-User).
Read-Write This allows the user to read and write to Local
Management fields, excluding IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Community Names.
Super-User This access privilege gives the user read and
write access to Local Management. Super-User
allows read and write access to all modifiable
parameters including: Community Names, IP
Addresses, Traps, and SNMP Objects.
