5.4 SNMP

Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex

networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts

of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management

Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.

5.4.1 SNMP Community

SNMP Community provides a simple kind of password protection. Access to the SNMP

device is controlled through community names. The community name can be thought of as a

password. If you don’t have the correct community name you can’t retrieve any data (get) or make

any changes (sets). Multiple SNMP managers may be organized in a specified community. You can

change your SNMP community settings on this screen. Check the “Enable” check box to enable the

SNMP function. Click APPLY to complete your change.

Validity: You can enable or disable the SNMP function of the corresponding community item.
