COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

Get

Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

 

 

 

 

GetNext

Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent.

 

 

In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it

 

 

initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.

 

 

 

 

Set

Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.

 

 

 

 

Trap

Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

 

 

 

19.2 Supported MIBs

The ZyWALL supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The ZyWALL can also respond with specific data from the ZyXEL private MIB (ZYXEL-MIB). The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistic data and monitor status and performance.

The ZyWALL acts as an SNMP agent. Users must implement their own GUI on SNMP platform (SNMP manager).

19.3 Configuring SNMP

To configure SNMP, select SNMP Configuration (enter 22) from the main menu to open Menu 22 - SNMP Configuration, as shown in the figure below. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is simply SNMP’s terminology for password.
