Field Description
Universal Plug And Play
(UPNP)
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for computers and other network
devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many
advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on
supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the
application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control
advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in
addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when
the component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet
Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000
does not support UPnP.
Disable
Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.
Enable
Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.
UPnP Port
The default setting is 2800. It is recommended that users use this port value. If this
value conflicts with other ports already being used, you may wish to change the port.
SNMP Access Control
Simple Network Management Protocol - Software on a PC on the LAN is required in
order to utilize this function.
SNMP v1 and v2
Read Community
Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file.
Once the string name is matched, the user who obtains this IP address will be able to
view the data
Write Community
Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file.
Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be able to view and
modify the data.
Trap Community
Specify a name to be identified as the Trap Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file.
Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be sent SNMP
Traps.
SNMP v3
Specify a name and password for authentication. And define the access right from
identified IP address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users from this IP
address will be able to view and modify the data.
SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3
SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2 security. The
"c" comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for "security", but is
widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard.
SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote monitoring.
Traps supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure.
