Overview
SNMP Versions and Workflow
The device functions as SNMP agent and supports SNMPv1, v2, and v3. It also reports system
events to trap receivers using the traps defined in the supported MIBs (Management
Information Base).
SNMPv1 and v2
To control access to the system, a list of community entries is defined. Each community entry
consists of a
community strin
g and its access privilege. The system responds only to SNMP
messages specifying the community which has the correct permissions and correct operation.
