Snmp Settings - Asus AAM6X20VI-F1 User Manual

SNMP Settings

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) settings can be
accessed here. Settings here include the following—
• Enable SNMP—to enable this feature, click the box.
• Read Only Community--The SNMP Read-Only Community
String is like a password. It is sent along with each SNMP
Get-Request and allows (or denies) access to device. The
router is shipped with a default password of "public". It's a
good idea to change the community string to keep intruders
from getting information about the network setup. Even if
it's only read-access, SNMP can divulge a lot of information
about the network that could be used to compromise it.
• Read Write Community—this is set to private (this should
never be set to public).
• Enable Trap—to enable the trap, click the box. A SNMP
Trap is an unsolicited message from a device to an SNMP
console that the device is in an interesting state. Traps
might indicate power-up or link-up/down conditions
temperatures exceeding certain thresholds, high traffic, etc.
Traps provide an immediate notification for an event that
might only be discovered during occasional polling.
• Trap Host IP—the IP address of the trap host.
• Trap Port—the port number of the trap host.
• Trap Community—public or private.
