When you click the
SNMP
link, the SNMP configuration page appears.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator monitor problems on a net-
work by retrieving settings on remote network devices. The network administrator typically runs an SNMP
management station program on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent. In this case, the
Motorola Netopia® Gateway is an SNMP agent. Your Gateway suppor ts SNMP-V1, with the exception of
most sets (read-only and traps), and SNMP-V2. (For cer tain par ts of the
NPAV2TRAP.MIB
– parameters under
resNatParams, resDslParams, resSecParams – set is suppor ted.)
You enter SNMP configuration information on this page. Your network administrator furnishes the SNMP
parameters.
☛
WARNING:
SNMP presents you with a security issue. The community facility of SNMP behaves
somewhat like a password. The community “public” is a well-known community name.
It could be used to examine the configuration of your Gateway by your service provider
or an uninvited reviewer. The information can be read from the Gateway.
If you are strongly concerned about security, you may leave the “public” community
blank.
