Configuring SNMP
The router provides SNMP agent support for accepting SNMP requests for status,
statistics, and configuration information as read-only operations and remote
configuration (write-operations) by an SNMP manager is allowed after authentication.
The SNMP configuration parameters are described in the following paragraphs.
• Community String - This parameter identifies the SNMP community to
which the router belongs. The community acts as a identifier between the
SNMP manager and agent for requests. The community setting allows the
SNMP manager to request information from a community, rather than each
node (agent) individually. By default, the community is set to public; a
commonly used string. The router supports association of one community
setting.
• SNMP Port - Allows management of the SNMP port. The SNMP port can be
disabled, set to the default (161) or re-defined to a non-standard value.
• SNMP Interfaces - This parameter defines SNMP participation by interface
by enabling or disabling WAN or LAN access.
• System Password - This is the password used by all client based support
applications.
• Trap Manager - The IP address for a node (SNMP manager) that will receive
a Trap event from the router. Up to four Trap Manager entries can be
configured. The Trap Manager is an optional setting and can be enabled or
disable as desired.
• SNMP Filter - The SNMP filter validates SNMP clients by defining a single or
range of IP addresses that are allowed to access the router via the SNMP.
Multiple address ranges can be specified; if no range is specified, access is
allowed as defined in the SNMP interfaces setting.
Procedures
To configure SNMP parameters via the WMI, refer to ‘SNMP” on page 8-41. To
configure SNMP from the command line, use the following commands:
-> snmp community <snmp community name>
Sets the SNMP community to which the router belongs; the default community is
"public".
-> snmp snmpport default | disabled | <port>
Default - Returns the SNMP port the default value(161) and re-enables SNMP after
it is disabled.
Disabled - Disables the SNMP port by setting the port to 0).
Redefines the SNMP port. to a value between 1 and 65535.
-> snmp snmppasswd <password>
