Choosing SNMP Trap Versions 5
The library supports SNMP v1 and v2 traps as defined by RFC 1157 (v1 is
the default). Administrators can choose which version the library uses to
report traps (v1 is the default)
The timeout for all SNMP requests to the library must be at 10 seconds or
greater (command line parameter-t).
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the Web client select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
Modifying the SNMP Community String 5
Administrators can modify the SNMP community string. The SNMP
community string is a text string that acts as a password to authenticate
GET and GET-NEXT SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c messages exchanged
between the library and an external management application. The SNMP
community string used by the library must match the string used by the
external management application.
The default SNMP community string on the library is: publicCmtyStr. For
security purposes, this string should be modified. When modifying the
community string, adhere to the following guidelines: the community
string is case-sensitive, cannot be empty, and cannot exceed 32 characters.
See the Dell PowerVault ML6000 Basic SNMP Reference Guide for further
configuration and access details.
You cannot modify the SNMP community string from the operator panel.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the Web client select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
