SNMP CONFIGURATION

SNMP, or Simple Network Management Protocol, is an Internet standard protocol for remote management. You
might use this instead of Enterprise Cloud Manager if you want to remotely manage a set of routers that include
both Cradlepoint and non-Cradlepoint products.
SNMP Configuration
• Enable SNMP: Selecting "Enable SNMP"
will reveal the router's SNMP configuration
options.
Network Settings
• Enable SNMP on LAN: Enabling SNMP on LAN
will make SNMP services available on the
LAN networks provided by this router. SNMP
will not be available on guest or virtual
networks that do not have administrative
access.
• LAN port #: Use the LAN port # field to
configure the LAN port number you wish to
access SNMP services on. (Default: 161)
• Enable SNMP on WAN: Enabling SNMP on
WAN will make SNMP services available to
the WAN interfaces of the router.
• WAN port #: Use the WAN port # field to
configure which publicly accessible port you
wish to make SNMP services available on.
(Default: 161)
• SNMP Version
• SNMPv1: SNMP version 1 is the most basic version of SNMP. SNMPv1 will configure the router to
transmit with settings compatible with SNMP version 1 protocols.
• SNMPv2c: SNMP version 2c has the same features as v1 with some additional commands. SNMPv2c will
configure the router to use settings and data formatting compatible with SNMP version 2c.
• SNMPv3: SNMP version 3 includes all prior features with security available. SNMPv3 is the most secure
setting for SNMP. If you wish to configure traps then you must use SNMP version 3.
SNMP v1 & v2c Settings
• Get community string: The "Get community string" is used to read SNMP information from the router. This
string is like a password that is transmitted in regular text with no protection.
• Set community string: The "Set community string" is used when writing SNMP settings to the router. This
string is like a password. It is a good idea to make it different than the "Get community string."
SNMPv3
If you select SNMPv3, you have several additional configuration options for added security.
• Authentication type: Select the authentication and encryption type that will be used when connecting to
the router from the following dropdown list. These settings must match the configuration used on any
SNMP clients.
• MD5 with no encryption
• SHA with no encryption
• MD5 with DES encryption
• SHA with DES encryption
