This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public
traps as well as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by
identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target
device. So, both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the
setting, click
<Apply>
button, the setting takes effect.
SNMP enable:
The term SNMP enable here is used for the activation or de-activation of SNMP.
Default is “Disable”.
Get/Set/Trap Community:
Community name is used as password for authenticating if the requesting network
management unit belongs to the same community group. If they both don’t have the same
community name, they don’t belong to the same group. Hence, the requesting network
management unit cannot access the device with different community name via SNMP
protocol; If they both have the same community name, they can talk each other.
Community name is user-definable with a maximum length of 15 characters and is case
sensitive. There is not allowed to put any blank in the community name string. Any printable
character is allowable.
The community name for each function works independently. Each function has its own
community name. Say, the community name for Read only works for Read function and
can’t be applied to other function such as Write and Trap.
