SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet‐standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. It consists of a set of standards for network management, including
an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects. SNMP exposes
management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system
configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing applications.
In the System » SNMP Page, you can configure SNMP V2c and SNMP V3.
SNMP Information
In the SNMP Information section, the text fields for the SNMP Enterprise ID, Contact, and Location
information are shown.
SNMP Configuration
General Settings
Figure 25: General settings for SNMP.
SNMP V2c Read Password Sets the community string for read‐only access (to the variables on the
SNMP agent) by the network management station (NMS). The NMS is
the software which runs on the SNMP manager. (default: public)
SNMP V2c Write Password Sets the community string for read‐write access by the SNMP
manager. (default: private)
A community string identifies a group of SNMP agents. It is sent in clear
text. It should be changed from the default string “public” or “private”. The
variables on the SNMP agent can be classified into read‐only or read‐write
variables.
SNMP V3 Username Sets the username for authentication. (default: admin)
SNMP V3 Auth Password Configures the password for user authentication. (default: password)
SNMP V3 Privacy Algorithm Shows the data encryption algorithm used e.g. DES.
