SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used when the customer wants to control the
device (or a complete system) through a NMS (Network Management System).
The following parameters must be set:
• Authentication (SNMP Communities);
An SNMP community is a relationship between an SNMP managed device and a set of SNMP
managers that defines authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics. The community
must be set on the local device/managed device. The NMS must include the correct community
string in its messages in order to get or set the different parameters of the device.
Define the following communities:
– Read Only Community: This string is always sent along with each SNMP Get action. The
received string must be recognized by the managed device in order to allow or deny access
to the device.
– Read Write Community: This string must be sent along with each SNMP Set action. The
string must be recognized by the device before a parameter can be set.
• Notification.
– Set the destination IP address where SNMP traps must be sent to. SNMP traps are
messages indicating a specific state of the device.
– Also a trap community must be configured for each trap destination.
The SNMP service is activated by default.
It is recommended to disable the SNMP service when the service is not used to
manage the device. Do this to avoid unauthorized people accessing the device.
For more information on the use of the SNMP interface refer to the System
Integration Guide.
