SNMP Administration

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets you monitor and manage your router from an
SNMP Manager. SNMP provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to
manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. The router supports the
SNMPv2c protocol version and can send traps to a specified community.
Select Administration > SNMP to access the SNMP screen shown below:
Figure 8-7
The SNMP Configuration table lists the IP addresses of SNMP agents to which the router will send
trap messages. The following are present in the table:
• IP Address: The IP address of the SNMP manager or trap agent.
• Subnet Mask: The network mask used to determine the list of allowed SNMP managers.
• Port: The SNMP trap port of the IP address to which, the trap messages will be sent.
• Community: The community string to which the agent belongs. Most agents are configured to
listen for traps in the Public community.
