SNMP Community Configurator is a part of
Network Manager. It allows you to configure SNMP Community
entries for particular ranges of IP classes, described through regular expressions.
Module dnmmsd uses a list of the entries that are definied as below.
The module browses the list during polling of discovered devices and scaning of a network
to discover new devices and it selects the first entry about SNMP Community (read community), that
suits for a processed IP address.
A main view of the application
presents a list of regular expressions described IP classes.
Regular expression describing IP addresses column includes a description of
IP class defined as a regular expression. Read community column
includes community, that is used to read for a given entry, and
Write community column (it is usually empty) includes
community, that is used to write. User level column
describes a minimum rihgts level of a user, that can edit a given
entry or delete it. Up column includes buttons, that helps a user
to move a given entry up, while Down column allows to move it down.
Moving of entries is an important function, because processing of the list by
dnmmsd module is interrupted on the first
matched entry. Add/Delete column lets a user add a new entry or delete
an existed one. If a user logged in a portal has a 0 level of rights, a last row of the list
includes fields allowing to define or add a new entry.
