4.4.2 Advanced – SNMP
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol
(
SNMP
) is a troubleshooting and management
protocol, which uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers.
SNMP uses a manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to fulfill the network
management needs. The agent is a separate station that can request data from an SNMP agent in each of
the different managed system in the network.
The agent uses the MIBs as dictionaries of manageable objects. Each SNMP-managed device has at
least one agent that can respond to the queries from the NMS. The SNMP agent supports GETS, SETS, and
TRAPS for 4 groups with MIB-II: System, Interface, IP, and ICMP.
Enable SNMP Agent:
Click to enable the
SNMP Agent
. An SNMP agent is a node that resides on
the network, typically a computer or a router. The SNMP agent is controlled and configured by the
NMS by sending SNMP messages between one another. SNMP agents are logged and identified
in a Management Information Base (MIB), in which they are identified by an object identifier (OID).
Enable SNMP Traps:
Click to enable the
SNMP Traps
. SNMP traps are used to notify network
managers of significant events that have taken place in the network. These traps are sent to the
SNMP NMS ( NMS Server located at Trap IP ) through the specified Ports.
Name:
An administratively-assigned name for the 4 Ports 11g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router. By
convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name.
Location:
The physical location of the 4 Ports 11g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router.
