AP7866 SNMP Access Control - limted to 4 IP Managers?

[Anonymous user]

Anyone know if there is a delimiter for SNMP -> Access Control -> NMS IP/Hostname or if we are limited to 4 SNMP Managers per unit?

Couldnt find anything in the manual, and neither comma or semi-colon work to have multiple IP addresses for the same Community Name per entry.

Thanks.

bcohee,

I don't believe there is any way to get around the limitation of having only 4 NMS fields in the NMC. The only workaround I can think of would be to use some less specific masks instead of the full IP that might allow a single line entry to give access to multiple NMS'.

For example, say you have two NMS...192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200. You could mask out access to that entire segment by using a mask of 192.168.1.255. That might allow you to combine some of your single line entries and free up a space or two.

Thanks Mike.

I am not sure how many of our NMS are in near continous IP space, but it may be able to save me the slot I need. Not good practice, but was also thinking I can setup a VIP for our group of development NMS hosts and see if that works.

Cheers,
