"Security" parameter group (STEP 7 V5.5) (Page 63)
Parameter group "SNMP"
Industrial Ethernet CP contains an SNMP agent
Industrial Ethernet CPs support the network management protocol SNMP as SNMP agents.
Depending on the CP type it is possible to enable or disable the SNMP function. As default,
the SNMP function is not activated.
Depending on the device type and the configuration, the following versions of SNMP are
supported:
● SNMPv1
All CPs support SNMPv1 if no security function is enabled.
● SNMPv3
With a suitable setting, CPs with a configurable security function support the SNMP
function SNMPv3
The module acts as an SNMPv3 agent only if SNMPv3 is selected for the SNMP
configuration. In the rights administration expanded for security, specify which users or roles
on the module have which access to SNMP data.
"Port parameters" parameter group
Individual network settings for each port
When necessary, you can make fixed network settings for the transmission characteristics of
each available interface (port). The "Automatic setting" is selected by default. In normal
situations, this guarantees problem-free communication.
If problems do occur in communication (such as when connections cannot be established or
frequent network disruptions occur), this may be the result of unsuitable network settings,
either selected or automatic. In this case, you should select a network setting that is suitable
for your network configuration.
