The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates
the exchange of management information between network
devices.
An agent residing in the XstreamCORE takes information from
the XstreamCORE and translates it into a form compatible
with SNMP.
Consult your network administrator for further
assistance with SNMP.

SNMP Client Setup
The SNMPv3 client configuration method will depend on your
client, but the following information will be needed:
1.
The username and password entered above in the
Remote Management
page.
2.
The SNMPv3 Engine ID from the
Remote Management
page.
3.
The XstreamCORE management IP address.
4.
The XstreamCORE uses AES as its SNMPv3 privacy
protocol, and SHA as its SNMPv3 authentication protocol.
SNMPv3 trap handlers will require the same
information as the client.
