System Management Tab - SNMP

SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is a network protocol that provides network administrators with the ability to monitor the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical events as they occur on the network. The Router supports SNMP v1/v2c and all relevant Management Information Base II (MIBII) groups. The Router replies to SNMP Get commands for MIBII via any LAN (local) interface and supports a custom MIB for generating trap messages.

To enable SNMP, keep the Enable box checked. To disable the SNMP agent, remove the checkmark.

To configure SNMP, complete all fields on this screen.

System Name. Enter the hostname of the Router.

System Contact. Enter the name of the network administrator for the Router, as well as a contact number or e-mail address.

System Location. Enter the location of the Router. For example, you could include the name of the building, floor number, and room location, such as Head Office - Floor 5 - Networking 3.

Get Community Name. Create a name for the group or community of administrators who can view the Router’s SNMP data. The default name is public.
