General
To configure general SNMP settings:
Select SNMP > General in the navigation pane.
Select Enabled for the SNMP setting. SNMP is disabled by default.
Specify a UDP Port for SNMP traffic.
By default, an SNMP agent listens only to requests from port 161. However, you can
configure this so that the agent listens to requests on a different port. The valid range is from
1025 to 65535.
Configure the SNMPv2 settings:
• Read-only Community—A read-only community name for SNMPv2 access. The valid
range is 1 to 256 alphanumeric and special characters.
The community name acts as a simple authentication feature to restrict the machines on
the network that can request data to the SNMP agent. The name functions as a password,
and the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender knows the password.
