SNMP Requests

Use the Settings > SNMP Requests page to configure how the tape library handles requests from an SNMP manager.

SNMP requests (allowed/not allowed)

If SNMP requests are allowed, the tape library will accept requests from an SNMP manager.

If SNMP requests are not allowed, the tape library will not accept requests from an SNMP manager, but will continue sending traps to the SNMP manager.

SNMP community

The SNMP community is the name of the class of users who have access to the statistics of network-attached devices. The community name is sent with a trap. For information about SNMP trap community names, see the documentation for your SNMP manager software.

By default, the SNMP community name is set to public. This name should be changed during initial library configuration because security scanning software will flag it as a vulnerability.
