SNMP System Information
The SNMP System Information section shows the network/device data specifically made
available to the SNMP manager for making the device, its location and service manager(s)
traceable. The module has an SNMP Agent running which listens on port 161.
SNMP Communities
The community strings (names which can be regarded as passwords) in the SNMP Communities
section must conform to those configured in the SNMP manager. Often, these are 'public', mainly
used for the read and trap communities, and 'private' or 'netman', for read-write operations. The
manager program may offer additional choices.
SNMP Traps
A A-80 alarm status change will generate a trap which can be caught by any SNMP manager.
Version and Destination IP : port are required fields.
SNMP Traps
Version
The SNMP version used.
Destination IP : port
The IP address associated with the manager program, and the destination port
(162 is the default port).
Alternative destination IP :
port
If desired, an alternative destination IP address and port can be added.
Enable authentication trap
It is possible to add an authentication trap to be able to catch attempts at access
using the wrong community string.
Polling
Depending on facilities offered by the SNMP manager, a number of variables can be read out and
in a few cases be edited and set. The Ethernet port variables are contained in the 'system' and
'interfaces' sections of RFC 1213-MIB (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1213.txt?number=1213).
