4.2.10. SNMP Configuration
To connect to the IDU with SNMP-based management, you need to define
the SNMP communities. These are passwords that define access rights of
different users. If these are not identical to the definitions in the network
management software (GiganetView or any other SNMP based software),
the authentication process will fail and access to the radio link is denied.
To configure the SNMP communities, perform the following operations:
1. Connect to the Terminal.
2. From the Main Configuration menu, select Full Configuration.
3. From the Full Configuration menu, select (2) SNMP Configuration. The
SNMP Configuration menu appears.

4. Select (1) Read Community and set it to public. Users with this
community will be allowed to read the link information, but will not be
allowed to change anything.
5. Select (2) Write Community and set it to netman. Users with this
community will be allowed to read and modify link information.
6. Select (3) Trap Community and set it to public. This password will be
used by the IDU when it reports to a SNMP based manager. The same
password needs to be included in the manager itself.
7. Select (4) Trap Option and set it to Standard Trap (0). In the “Standard
Trap” option, serial numbers will be added only to the private MIB traps.
Otherwise, serial numbers will be added to all SNMP traps.
8. Select (S) Save & Return to save the settings and return to the Full
Configuration menu.
9. Restart the IDU.
