N-Tron 702M12-W user manual Snmp Agent

SNMP Agent

Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor network- attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. The N-TRON 702-W contains an SNMP agent which allows it to communicate to SNMP managed applications for network provisioning.

The SNMP Agent provides an interface for device monitoring using the Simple Network Management Protocol (an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices). The SNMP Agent allows network administrators to monitor network performance, find and troubleshoot network problems. For the purpose of equipment identification, it is always a good idea to configure SNMP agents with contact and location information:

Enable SNMP Agent: control will enable the SNMP Agent.

SNMP Community: specify SNMP community string. It is required to authenticate access to MIB objects and functions as embedded password. The device supports a Read-only community string that gives read access to authorized management stations of all objects in the MIB except community strings, write access is not allowed.

Contact: specify the identity or the contact for notification of emergency situations.

Location: specify the physical location of the device.
