Configuring SNMP
Configure SNMP for the DFL-500 so that the SNMP agent running on the DFL-500 can report system
information and send traps. Traps can alert system administrators about problems with the DFL-500.
• Go to System > Config > SNMP .
• Select Enable SNMP.
• Configure SNMP settings:
System Name
Specify a name for this DFL-500.
System
Location
Describe the physical location of the DFL-500.
Contact
Information
Add the contact information for the person responsible for this DFL-500.
Get Community
Also called read community, get community acts like a password to identify SNMP get requests
sent from the DFL-500. The DFL-500 sends the get community string with each SNMP get
request. The same get community string must be added to the SNMP monitoring software to allow
communication with the DFL-500. The default get community string is "public". Specify a
community string to keep intruders from accessing get requests to retrieve information about your
network configuration.
Trap
Community
The trap community string functions like a password that is sent along with SNMP traps. Change
the trap community string to keep intruders from accessing traps. The same trap community string
must be added to the SNMP monitoring software.
