5.10 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application
layer protocol that facilities the exchange of management
information between network devices. It is part of TCP/IP
(Transmission Control protocol/Internet Protocol) suite and enables
you to control and monitor the network in a simple way.
On the SNMP page, you can edit the basic Agent information and
also configure up to 6 SNMP trap receiver’s IP Addresses. When a
trap condition occurs, your router will send an SNMP trap message
to any NMS (Network Management System) specified as trap
receivers, for example, when power supply errors occur.
And moreover, you can specify different community names for
authenticating access to the management information, which
function as embedded passwords:
Read: Gives you READ access to all the management information,
but does not allow WRITE access.
Write: Gives you both READ and WRITE access to all the
management information.

Notes :
NMS (Network Management System) is an SNMP management
application together with the computer it runs on.
Currently the Company AP Router supports SNMPv1 (SNMP version 1)
and SNMPv2 (SNMP version 2) which have a number of features in
common except for some enhancements.
Note :
The community name definitions on your NMS must match at least one of
the above two community name definitions.
