Checking Write Access on the Remote Router
For STATICON to configure a remote router's routing and service tables, it
must support IPX SNMP and the IPX MIB variables and have SNMP-write
access to the router. If the remote router is running Novell Internet Access
Server 4.1, specifying a Control Community from NIASCFG enables write
access.
To check write access, complete the following steps:
1 Load NIASCFG on the remote router, then select the following parameter
path:
Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Manage
Configuration > Configure SNMP Parameters
The Control State field should read Any Community May Write or
Specified Community May Write . If it reads Specified Community May
Write , note the name in the Control Community field. Use this name
when you must provide the name of the SNMP control community in Step
8 on page 59 of Selectively Configuring Static Routes and Services and
Step 8 on page 63 of Automatically Configuring Static Routes and
Services.
2 Press Esc to return to the Internetworking Configuration menu.
3 Exit NIASCFG.
