Configuring Client Lists (NSM Procedure)
You can configure a group of SNMP clients as a client list by providing either the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for the individual clients that you want to assign to this client list. You can then specify that the members of the list be authorized to use a particular SNMP community. See Configuring SNMP Communities (NSM Procedure) for information about adding a client to a community. If a community is not configured with such specific client addresses in client lists as authorized, then all SNMP clients using this community string are authorized by default to access the device.
To configure client lists in NSM:
- In the navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
- In the Devices list, double-click the device to select it.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- In the configuration tree, expand SNMP.
- Select Client List.
- Click the Add or Edit icon.
- Enter the parameters as specified in Table 1.
- Click one:
- OK—To save the changes.
- Cancel—To cancel the modifications.
- Apply—To apply the SNMP settings.
 | Note: After you make changes to a device configuration, you must push that updated device configuration to the physical security device for those changes to take effect. You can update multiple devices at one time. See the Updating Devices section in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide for more information. |
