Administrator’s Handbook

Link: SNMP

When you click the SNMP link, the SNMP configuration page appears.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator monitor problems on a net- work by retrieving settings on remote network devices. The network administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent. In this case, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway is an SNMP agent. Your Gateway supports SNMP-V1, with the exception of most sets (read-only and traps), and SNMP-V2. (For certain parts of the NPAV2TRAP.MIB – parameters under resNatParams, resDslParams, resSecParams – set is supported.)

You enter SNMP configuration information on this page. Your network administrator furnishes the SNMP parameters.

☛WARNING:

SNMP presents you with a security issue. The community facility of SNMP behaves somewhat like a password. The community “public” is a well-known community name. It could be used to examine the configuration of your Gateway by your service provider or an uninvited reviewer. The information can be read from the Gateway.

If you are strongly concerned about security, you may leave the “public” community blank.
