9-12 VPN Firewall and Network Management
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 main/submenu. The SNMP screen is displayed..
Note: If you disable HTTPS remote management, all SSL VPN user connections will
also be disabled.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify the WAN IP
address of your VPN firewall by running
tracert from the Windows Run menu
option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter
tracert
SRXN3205.mynetgear.net,
and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to
the VPN firewall is displayed.
