SNMP

Do the Display-Only and Full-Access Passwords for the web interface have any relationship with SNMP queries? The new Canopy PDF supporting all Canopy modules mentions something brief and unclear.



Canopy modules provide the following Configuration web page parameters that govern
SNMP access from the manager to the agent:
◦ Display-Only Access, which specifies the password that allows only viewing.
◦ Full Access, which specifies the password that allows both viewing and
changing.
◦ Community String, which specifies the password for security between
managers and the agent.
◦ Accessing Subnet, which specifies the subnet mask allows managers to poll the
agents.
◦ Trap Address, which specifies the IP address of the NMS.
For more information about each of these fields, see the user document that supports the
module.

The Community string is what is used when accessing SNMP data. This is by default set to Canopy (case matters).
