formation about the router (and its expansion ports) to a management station. To open the

work Management Protocol) provides status information about the network elements such as
routers or endpoint computers. In the version v3, the communication is secured (encrypted).
To enable the SNMP service, mark the
Enable the SNMP agent check box. Sending SNMP
traps to IPv6 address is supported.
