Using An Snmp Manager - NETGEAR STM150 - ProSecure Web And Email Threat Management Appliance Reference Manual

ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance
2. In the Secure HTTPS Management section of the screen, enter number of the port that you
want to use to access Web Management Interface of the STM. The default setting is port
443, but you can enter a port ranging from 1024 to 65535. You cannot use some ports such
as 2080 and 8088 that might be used by the STM.
This section of the screen also displays the HTTPS hyperlink through which you can
access the Web Management Interface of the STM. The hyperlink consists of the IP
address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the STM and the port number that you
have assigned.
3. In the Access Control List section of the screen, you can specify IP addresses or IP address
ranges that you want to grant access to the Web Management Interface for increased
security. To specify a range, separate the beginning IP address and the ending IP address
by a hyphen (-).To allow access from all IP addresses and IP address ranges, leave this field
blank.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Note: To maintain security, the STM rejects a login that uses http://address
rather than the SSL https://address.
Note: The first time that you remotely connect to the STM with a browser
via an SSL VPN connection, you might get a warning message
regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer
with Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, simply click Yes to accept the
certificate.

Using an SNMP Manager

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network
management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant
administrative attention.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which
describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set)
by managing applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your STM from an SNMP manager. It provides a remote
means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics
collection, performance, and security. The STM provides support for report aggregation
through SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and version 2 (SNMPv2).
