3.8.5 SNMP Setting
The SNMP Setting item displays the SNMP configuration page.
SNMP provides an easy way to manage network devices. The main features are:
(1) Monitoring device uptime
(2) System detail description. (e.g., model name, model description and firmware version.)
(3) Collect interface information. (e.g., MAC address, interface speed and local port.)
(4) Measuring network interface throughput.
To use SNMP, just
enable
SNMP function in the camera (SNMP agents) and run SNMP
management software in server (NMS: Network Management Station) to connect to the
devices.
The SNMP agent supports versions 1, 2 and 3. SNMP v1 is the initial implementation of
SNMP. SNMP v2 is proposed to enhance the performance of management, such as the
communication of server and devices, the confirmation of information delivery and receipt.
Primary additions in SNMP v3 concern security and remote configuration enhancements.
SNMP v1/v2
uses “Community” name as password to authenticate identity. “Read
Community” is the password for server to get information from devices. “Write Community” is
the password for server to edit values on devices. The default is “public” for Read
Community and “write” for Write Community. Of course, you can set any other password as
your read/write community.
You can enable v1, v
2 or both. Click “
Apply
” after you’ve completed the setup.
