Configure optional SNMP parameters from here.
Follow these steps to configure the first three items in the screen:
1.Select System Name and enter a descriptive name for the Netopia 4541/4542’s SNMP agent.
2.Select System Location and enter the router’s physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).
3.Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the router.
System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Netopia 4541/4542 SNMP agent for the SysName, SysLocation, and SysContact objects, respectively, in the MIB II system group. Although optional, the information you enter in these items can help a system administrator manage the network more efficiently.
