EMC® VNX® Series Security Configuration Guide for VNX

SNMP management

SNMP is used for communication between the Control Station and Data Mover, so disabling it can interfere with some functions. For example, the server_netstat command will not work. The SNMP community string provides the basis for security in SNMP. The default community name is the well known name public. This name should be changed to prevent unwanted access to VNX for file. Configuring Events and Notifications on VNX for File describes how to configure this feature.

SNMP management software can be used to monitor the state of VNX for block systems. An SNMP community is the group to which devices and management stations running SNMP belong. It defines where information is sent. The community name identifies the group. It will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to this community. For more information on SNMP support, refer to the Managing EMC CLARiiON with SNMP white paper on the EMC Online Support website at http://Support.EMC.com.
