3.3
SNMP access
The SNMP protocol lets you work with a network management system to monitor the device over
the network and change its settings.
3.3.1
SNMPv1/v2 access
Using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 the network management system and the device communicate
unencrypted. Every SNMP packet contains the community name in plain text and the IP address
of the sender.
The community names
public
for read accesses and
private
for write accesses are preset in the
device. If SNMPv1/v2 is enabled, then the device lets anyone who knows the community name
have access to the device.
Make the following basic provisions to make undesired access to the device more difficult:
Change the default community names in the device.
Treat the community names with discretion.
Anyone who knows the community name for write access, has the ability to change the settings
of the device.
Specify a different community name for read/write access than for read access.
Use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 only in environments protected from eavesdropping. The protocols
do not use encryption.
We recommend using SNMPv3 and disabling the access using SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 in the
device.
