SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to monitor the unit's
measurements and status, if desired. SNMP v1, v2c and v3 are supported. In addition,
alarm traps can be sent to up to two IP addresses.
Figure 3-29 SNMP Configuration Page
The
SNMP-V1/V2c and SNMP-V3 Service
can be enabled or disabled independently as
desired. The service will normally listen for data-read requests (a.k.a. "GET requests") on
Port
161, which is the usual default for SNMP services; this can also be changed if
desired.
The Management Information Base (MIB) can be downloaded from the unit, if needed, via
the MIB link at the top of the web page. Clicking this link will download a .ZIP archive
containing both the MIB file itself, and a CSV-formatted spreadsheet describing the
available OIDs in a human-readable form to assist you in setting up your SNMP manager
to read data from the unit.
Figure 3-30 SNMP Users Configuration Page
The
Users
section allows you to configure the various Read, Write, and Trap communities
for SNMP services. You can also configure the authentication types and encryption
methods used for the SNMP v3 if desired. Click the Modify icon to change settings.
