D-Link DI-308 manual Advanced Functions, SNMP Authenticated Trap

DI-308 ISDN Remote Router

The parameters are described below:

•IP Address – Enter the IP address of the host who will act as an SNMP Management Station. The DI-308 router will send SNMP traps to these addresses.

•SNMP Community String – The community string is a user-defined identifying name used to group together some arbitrary set of SNMP application entities managed by the network manager. Traps will be sent to the IP Address (previous parameter) as long as the corresponding Community String, in the Management Station’s trap manager software, is the same.

•State – This validates or invalidates the use of the SNMP Community String, by setting the use of the string to Valid or Invalid. Note that setting the string to Invalid is the same as removing the string, however, the string remains so as to be validated again at an appropriate time.

SNMP Authenticated Trap

Returning to the SNMP Agent Configuration menu, you can Enable or Disable an authentication failure trap message being sent to the Management Station by the router. When an SNMP packet with an invalid community name is received, it will be dropped. If this parameter is enabled, a trap will be sent to the network manager; if this parameter is disabled, no trap will be sent.
