Configuration System Management Protocols SNMP

This screen lets you configure and enable the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent. When enabled, you can use an SNMP manager to collect information from the VPN 3002 but not to configure it.

To use SNMP, you must also configure an SNMP Community on the Configuration System

Management Protocols SNMP Communities screen.

The settings on this screen have no effect on sending system events to SNMP trap destinations (see Configuration System Events General and Trap Destinations). For those functions, the VPN 3002 acts as an SNMP client.

Figure 8-6 Configuration System Management Protocols SNMP Screen

Enable SNMP

Check the box to enable SNMP. The box is checked by default. Disabling SNMP provides additional security.

SNMP Port

Enter the port number that SNMP uses. The default is 161, which is the well-known port number. Changing the port number provides additional security.

Maximum Queued Requests

Enter the maximum number of outstanding queued requests that the SNMP agent allows. Minimum is 1, default is 4, maximum is 200.

Apply / Cancel

To apply your SNMP settings, and to include the settings in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration System Management Protocols screen.
