Field Description
SNMP
Enabled/Disabled
You can specify the SNMP administrative mode on your
network. By default SNMP is enabled. To enable SNMP,
click Enabled. To disable SNMP, click Disabled. After
changing the mode, you must click Save to save your
configuration changes.
Note: If SNMP is disabled, all remaining fields on
the SNMP page are disabled. This is a global SNMP
parameter which applies to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and
SNMPv3.
UDP Port By default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from
port 161. However, you can configure this so the agent
listens to requests on another port.
Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP
agents to listen to requests. The valid range is 1-65535.
Note: This is a global SNMP parameter that applies
to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
Read Only
Community
Enter a read-only community name. The valid range is
1-256 characters.
The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts
as a simple authentication mechanism to restrict the
machines on the network that can request data to the
SNMP agent. The name functions as a password, and
the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender
knows the password.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric
format.
Read Write
Community
If you have enabled SNMP set requests you can set a
read-write community name. The valid range is 1-256
characters.
Setting a community name is similar to setting a
password. Only requests from the machines that
identify themselves with this community name will be
accepted.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric
format.
Management
Station
Restriction
You can restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests.
To restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests,
select Enabled.
To permit any source submitting an SNMP request,
select Disabled.
