The SNMP page
To configure SNMP, you need to enable it first by selecting the ‘Enabled’ option after ‘Status’,
and then enter the community name in the Community field. Community is the term used in
SNMP for the authentication of a network management software, very much like a password. It
is important to select a good community name since malicious users can exploit some of the
information available with SNMP; it allows to gather quite a lot of information about the network
in a very easy manner.
Remote Syslog
Remote syslog sends system messages to remote system over UDP. This allows logs to be
gathered from multiple devices. Some network management systems utilize syslog in addition
to SNMP to monitor state of the network and the devices.
To use remote syslog, set the status to enabled state and enter the IP address of the host,
which collects the logs as destination. Also it is possible to set the destination port number.
Usually the syslog servers run on default UDP port 514.
