SNM P
(Simple Network Management Protocol) has been widely applied in the computer networks
currently, which is used for ensuring the transmission of the management information between
any two nodes. In this way, network administrators can easily search and modify the information
on any node on the network. Meanwhile, they can locate faults promptly and implement the fault
diagnosis, capacity planning and report generating.
An
SNM P Agent
is an application running on the router that performs the operational role of
receiving and processing SNMP messages, sending responses to the SNMP manager, and
sending traps when an event occurs. So a router containing SNMP "agent" software can be
monitored and/or controlled by SNMP Manager using SNMP messages.
An
SNM P M anager
or SNMP Service is an application that performs the operational roles of
generating SNMP messages/requests to modify and retrieve management information, and
receiving the requested information and trap-event reports that are generated by the SNMP agent.
SNMP Manager is the third-party management system. Monitor one is an SNMP Manager.

You can select the checkbox to disable or enable the function.
Note:
SNM P Community string
provides a simple method of authentication between the router (SNMP
Agent) and a remote network manager (SNMP Manager). You can specify the community string
as the password to authenticate the management station to the router.
Read Community:
This field allows you to specify the SNMP Community string which
provides read-only access to the router that the community is only permitted to read the device
configuration. The default value is “public”.
Set Community:
This field allows you to specify the SNMP Community string which provides
read and write access to the router that the community has the authority to read and change
the device configuration. The default value is “private”.
System Name:
Enter alphanumeric string to specify an SNMP community string name. Your
router (SNMP agents) will expose management data on the managed systems as this "system
name".
System Location:
The person to notify when problems occur.
