NETGEAR UTM5EW-100NAS, STM150EW-100NAS manual Use a Simple Network Management Protocol Manager, 440

ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance

Note: If you are unable to connect remotely to the UTM after enabling HTTPS remote management, check if other user policies, such as the default user policy, are preventing access. For access to the UTM’s web management interface, check if administrative access through a WAN interface is granted (see Configure Login Policies on page 404).

Note: If you disable HTTPS remote management, all SSL VPN user connections are also disabled.

Tip: If you are using a Dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify the WAN IP address of your UTM by running tracert from the Windows Run menu option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter tracert UTM.mynetgear.net, and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the UTM is displayed.

Use a Simple Network Management Protocol Manager

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.

SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing applications.

SNMP lets you monitor and manage your UTM from an SNMP manager. It provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.

To configure the global SNMP settings and SNMPv1/v2c settings:

1. Select Administration > SNMP. The SNMP screen displays:
