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 D-Series’s SNMP agent.

2.Select System Location and enter the Netopia D-Series’s physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).

3.Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the Netopia D-Series.

System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Netopia D-Series 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.

Community strings

The Read-Only Community String and the Read/Write Community String are like passwords that must be used by an SNMP manager querying or configuring the Netopia D-Series. An SNMP manager using the Read-Only Community String can examine statistics and configuration information from the Netopia D-Series, but cannot modify the Netopia D-Series’s configuration. An SNMP manager using the Read/Write Community String can both examine and modify configuration parameters.
