TANDBERG 3G Gateway User Manual
5.7 SNMP Configuration
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and configuring different units in a network. The 3G Gateway’s SNMP Agent responds to requests from SNMP Managers (a PC program etc.). SNMP traps are generated by the agent to inform the manager about important events.
Configuration
SNMP Mode
The SNMP operation modus can be set to:
•On, turn SNMP on;
•Off, turn SNMP off;
•ReadOnly, Do not send SNMP information to the host;
•TrapsOnly, Only send SNMP information identified as TRAPS to the host.
SNMP Community name
SNMP Community names are used to authenticate SNMP requests. SNMP requests must have this ‘password’ in order to receive a response from the SNMP agent in the 3G Gateway.
Note that the SNMP Community name is case sensitive.
System contact
Used to identify the system contact via SNMP tools such as HPOpenView or TANDBERG Management Suite.
