SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Advanced Mode

This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It helps network administrators to remotely manage network devices and find, solve network problems with ease.

■ The SNMP consists of the following three key components:

1.Manager: Network-management station (NMS), a server which executes applications that monitor and control managed devices.

2.Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.

3.Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and database.

Before configuring SNMP settings on the this page, please enable your NMS first.

SNMP Configuration

Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2c

Select this option and enter the names of Read/Write community and Read Only community according to your NMS settings.

Enable SNMPv3

This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security level, which allows you to set the Authentication password and the Encryption password.

Security name: According to your NMS settings, choose Read/Write or Read Only and enter the community name.

Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.

Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least 8 characters).

Encryption password: Enter a password for encryption (at least 8 characters).
