VPN Firewall and Network Management 8-13
v1.0, January 2010
Using an SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets you monitor and manage your VPN firewall
from an SNMP Manager. It provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and
to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.
The SNMP Configuration table lists the SNMP configurations by:
• IP Address. The IP address of the SNMP manager.
• Port. The trap port of the configuration.
• Community. The trap community string of the configuration.
To create a new SNMP configuration entry:
1. Select Administration > SNMP from the menu. The SNMP screen is displayed.
2. Configure the following fields in the Create New SNMP Configuration Entry section:
a. Enter the IP address of the SNMP manager in the IP Address field and the subnet mask in
the Subnet Mask field.
– To allow only the host address to access the VPN firewall and receive traps, enter an
IP Address of, for example, 192.168.1.101 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.
– To allow a subnet access to the VPN firewall through SNMP, enter an IP address of,
for example, 192.168.1.101 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The traps will still
be received on 192.168.1.101, but the entire subnet will have access through the
community string.
