    .
  13. In the Global Setup area, in the
    Contact Information
     field, type contact information for the SNMP administrator for this BIG-IP system.
    The contact information is a MIB-II simple string variable. The contact information usually includes both a user name and an email address.
  14. In the
    Machine Location
     field, type the location of the system, such as
    Network Closet 1
    .
    The machine location is a MIB-II simple string variable.
  15. In the
    Client Allow List
     area, for the
    Type
    setting, select either
    Host
     or
    Network
    , depending on whether the IP address you specify is a host system or a subnet.
    By default, SNMP is enabled only for the BIG-IP system loopback interface (127.0.0.1).
  16. In the
    Address
     field, type either an IP address or network address from which the SNMP agent can accept requests.
  17. If you selected
    Network
     in step 2, type the netmask in the
    Mask
     field.
  18. From the
    Type
     list, select either
    IPv4
     or
    IPv6
    .
  19. In the
    Community
     field, type the name of the SNMP community for which you are assigning an access level.
  20. From the
    Source
     list, select
    All
    , or select
    Select
     and type the source IP address in the field that displays.
  21. In the
    OID
     field, type the OID for the top-most node of the SNMP tree to which the access applies.
  22. From the
    Access
     list, select an access level, either
    Read Only
     or
    Read/Write
    .
    When you set the access level of a community or user to read/write, and an individual data object has a read-only access type, access to the object remains read-only. In short, the access level or type that is the most secure takes precedence when there is a conflict.
  23. In the
    User Name
     field, type the name of the user for which you are assigning an access level.
  24. In the Authentication area, from the
    Type
     list, select a type of authentication to use, and then type and confirm the user’s password.
  25. In the Privacy area, from the
    Protocol
     list, select a privacy protocol, and either type and confirm the user’s password, or select the
    Use Authentication Password
     check box.
