SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) exchanges messages between a management client and a management agent. Messages contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes, thus allowing a management client to obtain statistics, set configuration parameters, and monitor events. Communication with the SNMP agent can occur over the LAN or WAN connection. To configure SNMP:
1.Click SNMP on the left navigation pane of the Router Information Page. This displays the SNMP Configuration page.
2.In Community String, enter the name of the SNMP community to which the router belongs. This name acts as a identifier between the SNMP manager and agent for requests. The community setting allows the SNMP manager to request information from a community, rather than each node (agent) individually.
3.In Write Communicty String, enter the name of the SNMP write community to which the router belongs.
4.In Port Number, select one of the following:
•Port Number:
Enter the desired number in the field next to Port Number.
•Disable:
Disables the SNMP port.
•Default:
Sets the port to the default port of 161.
5.In Enabled Interfaces, select one or both of the following:
•LAN designates the Local Area Network as a trusted interface.
•WAN designates the Wide Area Network as a trusted interface.
6.In Trap Enable, select Enable or Disable. SNMP agents also have the ability to send (unrequested) messages to SNMP managers; these messages are called traps and notify the SNMP managers that an event has happened on the system.
7.If you enabled Trap Enable, in Trap
8.Click Apply.
9.Configure SNMP IP Filter and SNMP Password.
