ZyXEL Communications HS100/HS100W manual Supported MIBs, Snmp Configuration

HomeSafe User’s Guide

•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.

28.2 Supported MIBs

The HomeSafe supports RFC-1215 and MIB II as defined in RFC-1213 as well as ZyXEL private MIBs. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistic data and monitor status and performance.

28.3 SNMP Configuration

To configure SNMP, select option 22 from the main menu to open Menu 22 — SNMP Configuration as shown next. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is SNMP terminology for password.

Menu 22 - SNMP Configuration

Trusted Host= 0.0.0.0

Trap:
