42 GCM2 and GCM4 Installation and User's Guide To unlock an account, complete the following steps: 1. Log into the Web interface as a user with Appliance Administrator or User Administrator rights. 2. Click the Configure tab and then click Users in the left menu. 3. Select the check box next to the user name. 4. Click the Unlock button. The lock icon next to the username disappears. To disable the security lockout, complete the following steps: 1. Log into the Web interface as a user with Appliance Administrator rights. 2. Click the Configure tab and then click Users in the left menu. 3. Clear the Enable Lock-outs check box. The Duration field is disabled. NOTE: Disabling Security Lock-Out does not affect users that are already locked out. Configuring SNMP When the Configure tab is selected, the Admin and other users with Appliance Administrator rights can click the SNMP option in the left menu to configure SNMP. SNMP managers, such as Tivoli and HP OpenView, can communicate with the appliance by accessing MIB-II and the public portion of the enterprise MIB. The administrator can do the following SNMP configuration: • Enable or disable SNMP. • Enter appliance information and community strings. • Restrict which SNMP servers can manage the appliance by identifying a set of allowable SNMP managers. If no allowable SNMP servers are specified, any SNMP manager can monitor the appliance from any IP address. • Specify SNMP servers as destinations for SNMP traps from the appliance. If no destinations are specified, no traps are sent. The Web interface retrieves the SNMP parameters from the appliance. If Enable SNMP is selected, the unit responds to SNMP requests over UDP port 161. For third-party SNMP management software to monitor the appliance, UPD port 161 must be exposed on the firewall. Under Configure > SNMP, appliance administrators can enter system information and community strings and can specify SNMP servers to manage the appliance and specify other SNMP servers to receive SNMP traps from the appliance. For more information on traps, see "Configuring SNMP traps" on page 43.

Configuring SNMP
When the
Configure
tab is selected, the Admin and other users with Appliance Administrator
rights can click the
SNMP
option in the left menu to configure SNMP. SNMP managers, such as
Tivoli and HP OpenView, can communicate with the appliance by accessing MIB-II and the public
portion of the enterprise MIB.
The administrator can do the following SNMP configuration:
•
Enable or disable SNMP.
•
Enter appliance information and community strings.
•
Restrict which SNMP servers can manage the appliance by identifying a set of allowable
SNMP managers. If no allowable SNMP servers are specified, any SNMP manager can moni-
tor the appliance from any IP address.
•
Specify SNMP servers as destinations for SNMP traps from the appliance. If no destinations
are specified, no traps are sent.
The Web interface retrieves the SNMP parameters from the appliance. If Enable SNMP is selected,
the unit responds to SNMP requests over UDP port 161. For third-party SNMP management
software to monitor the appliance, UPD port 161 must be exposed on the firewall.
Under
Configure
>
SNMP
, appliance administrators can enter system information and community
strings and can specify SNMP servers to manage the appliance and specify other SNMP servers to
receive SNMP traps from the appliance. For more information on traps, see "Configuring SNMP
traps" on page 43.
