Specify Global SNMP Settings and Access Control Lists

You can specify Access Control Lists (ACLs) for SystemEDGE SNMP credentials at the global, policy, and system level. You can minimize the dependency on system-specific SNMP objects by associating the ACLs to global SNMP objects.

Edit ACLs at the global level through Administration, Configuration, SNMP from the user interface.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Administration, SNMP in the user interface.

   SNMP settings page appears.

2. (Optional) Click Actions, New to create an SNMP Settings object.

   The New SNMP Settings dialog appears. An SNMP Settings object comprises of a name, the community string, the type of operation (read-only or read-write), SNMP version, port, timeout, retry limit, and Access Control List (ACL). Use the port number that is specified on the managed nodes to which you want to apply the SNMP settings.

3. Specify the required data to create an SNMP Settings object and click OK.
4. Select the SNMP Settings object to which you want to add an ACL and click the Edit icon.

   Edit SNMP Settings dialog with the ACL panel appears.

5. Specify the names or IP addresses of the manager systems under the Policy Configuration SystemEDGE Access Control List panel and click OK.

   The ACL for a particular global SNMP Settings object is specified.

You can apply the global SNMP Settings object with its Access Control List to policies.
