Overview

Sometimes, it is necessary to restrict SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) access to a particular subnet; this can limit the users that have access to the SNMP to just a few hosts or network administrators.

Process

1. Create a network object with the IP addresses of the hosts that should have access to the SNMP protocol.

2. Log in to the CLI (command-line interface) of the Exinda device.

3. Execute the following command:
   

   snmp-server restrict <network object>
   
   where <network object> is the subnet created in step 1.
