Configuring System Information 177
Defining SNMP Parameters
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices.
Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent).
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables
are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB contains the variables
controlled by the agent. The SNMP protocol defines the MIB specification format, as well as the
format used to access the information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the
device, the Embedded Web Server submits a valid community string for authentication. To open

This section contains information for managing the SNMP configuration.
Defining Communities
Access rights are managed by defining communities in the
Community Table
. When the
community names are changed, access rights are also changed. To open the
SNMP Community
page, click
