Configuring the SNMP Settings
You can enable or disable SNMP communication between an SNMP
manager and the Dominion PX device. Enabling SNMP communication
allows the manager to retrieve and control the power status of each outlet.
Besides, you may need to configure the SNMP destination(s) if the built-in
"System SNMP Trap Rule" is enabled and the trap destination has not
been set yet. See
Configuring Event Rules
(on page 155).
To configure the SNMP communication:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network Services > SNMP. The SNMP
Settings dialog appears.
2. Select the "enable" checkbox in the "SNMP v1 / v2c" field to enable
communication with an SNMP manager using SNMP v1 or v2c
protocol.
Type the SNMP read-only community string in the Read
Community String field. Usually the string is "public."
Type the read/write community string in the Write Community
String field. Usually the string is "private."
3. Select the "enable" checkbox in the "SNMP v3" field to enable
communication with an SNMP manager using SNMP v3 protocol.
Tip: You can permit or disallow a user to access the Dominion PX via
the SNMP v3 protocol. See
Configuring Users for Encrypted SNMP
v3
(on page 225).
4. Type the SNMP MIB-II sysContact value in the sysContact field.
5. Type the SNMP MIB-II sysName value in the sysName field.
6. Type the SNMP MIB-II sysLocation value in the sysLocation field.
