General Information
Summary
SNMP is an application layer protocol. It is called simple because it works that way - the
management station makes a request, and the managed device (SNMP agent) replies to this request.
In SNMPv1 there are three main actions - Get, Set, and Trap. RouterOS supports only Get, which
means that you can use this implementation only for network monitoring.
Hosts receive SNMP generated messages on UDP port 161 (except the trap messages, which are
received on UDP port 162).
The Wandy RouterOS supports:
• SNMPv1 only
• Read-only access is provided to the NMS (network management system)
• User defined communities are supported
• Get and GetNext actions
• No Set support
• No Trap support
