SNMP/ALERT settings
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used by network management software to
monitor devices in a network, to retrieve network status information of the devices, and to configure
network parameters of the devices. The
SNMP/ALERT Settings
page showed in Figure 19 allows user
to configure
wienet SDS
device so that it can be viewed by third-party SNMP software, and allows
wienet SDS
to send alert events to administrator and SNMP trap server.
Figure 19: SNMP
/
Alert Settings web page
wienet SDS
provides three basic SNMP fields under the Basic Data Objects part which are:
System
Contact
usually used to specify the device's contact information in case of emergency (default value
is
contact
),
System Name
usually used to identify this device (default value is
System
), and
System
Location
usually used to specify the device location (default value is
location
).
To make the device's information available for public viewing/editing, you can enable the
SNMP
function by checking the
Enable
box and fill in the two passphrases (or SNMP Community Strings)
below it. Note that when the SNMP is checked, three setting option lines will show up as depicted in
Figure 19. The supported
SNMP Version
can be selected from the drop-down lists as one of the fol-
lowings:
v1/v2c
,
v1/v2c/v3
, or
Only v3
. Note that when
v1/v2c/v3
option is selected, you will have
three more options to enter and choose which are
User Name
,
Password
, and
Encrypt
as shown in
Figure 20. The
Encrypt
option can be chosen from
None
,
AES
, or
DES
. By filling in the passphrase for
the
Read Community
, the device allows other network management software to read its infor-
mation. By filling in the passphrase for the
Write Community
,
wienet SDS
device allows other net-
work management software to read/modify its information. The default
wienet SDS
's SNMP Commu-
nity Strings (or passphrases) for
Read Community
and
Write Community
as shown in Figure 19 are
public
and
private
, respectively.
