SNMP configurations
The Model 2285 has the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent supporting SNMP v1 and v2
protocols. Network managers like NMS or SNMP Browser can exchange information with Model 2285, as
well as access required functionality.
SNMP protocols include GET, SET, GET-Next, and TRAPs. With these functions, a manager can be notified
of significant events (TRAPs), query a device for more information (GET), and make changes to the device
state (SET). SNMPv2 adds a GET-Bulk function for retrieving tables of information and security functions.
With the SNMP configuration panel, the user can configure MIB-II System objects, access control settings and
TRAP receiver settings. The manager configured in this menu can perform both information exchange and
action control.

MIB-II System objects Configuration
MIB-II System objects configuration sets the System Contact, Name, Location, and Authentication-failure
traps used by the SNMP agent of the Model 2285. These settings provide the values used for the MIB-II sys-
Name, sysContact, sysLocation, sysService and enableAuthenTrap.
Brief descriptions of each object are as follows:
•
sysContact
: Identification of the contact person for the managed system (Model 2285), and a description of
how to contact the person.
