SNMP agents must be enabled and configured so that they can communicate
with the network management system (NMS). The agent is also responsible for
controlling the database of control variables defined in the Management Inform-

VersaSync’s SNMP functionality supports SNMP versions V1, V2c and V3 (with
SNMP Version3 being a secure SNMP protocol).
Once SNMP is configured it will persist through reboot, and only needs to be
reconfigured after performing a "clean" update process (thus restoring the fact-

Note: In order to configure SNMP, you need
ADMINISTRATORrights.

This tab allows the configurations for SNMP v1 and v2c, includ-

as well as the ability to permit or deny access to portions of the
network. Clicking on the “+” symbol in the top- right corner
