Hi Ben,
You need to first make sure of what version of SNMP is being used on the NMS (Version 1 / Version 3) and it must match what is set on the NB200.
You should only have 1 of the 2 versions enabled at at time. I have seen strange things occur if you enable both version 1 and version 3 on the APC NMC based devices such as the 200.
You need to match the community names being used in the NMS with those being used on the NB200.
If the NB200 community names have an associated IP, try setting it to all 0s for testing:
If there is an associated IP, then only that IP can use that community name. If it is set to all 0s, any host can poll the device.
Since you're getting an unauthorized access error, if it originates from the IP of the NMS in question, we can be pretty sure it is based on Community strings / passphrases, associated IPs, the protocol being enabled correctly. There is more to troubleshooting SNMP we know the network is not blocking the traffic (again assuming the error is from the IP of the NMS).
