SNMP
ZoneRanger makes extensive use of the SNMP protocol to both manage devices and to allow
other applications to access ZoneRanger managed devices. The Configuration > SNMP page
is used to configure various SNMP settings that the ZoneRanger uses to make SNMP requests
to network devices.

Configuring SNMP Options
The Configuration > SNMP page Options tab is used to specify the level of logging for SNMP
proxy requests and responses on the ZoneRanger, whether or not SNMPv3 users must be
configured in order to proxy SNMPv3 requests, and can be used to specify an optional SNMP
configuration file used to upload target rules and user information.
The SNMP Proxy Logging levels are:
Log Level
None
Short
Full
This SNMP Proxy log can be downloaded by the downloadFile command on a Ranger
Gateway. The log file is called /log/snmpProxy.log . The log file may also be viewed on
the View > Service Logs page.
The Require SNMPv3 users to be configured for proxy requests checkbox determines
whether or not an SNMPv3 user must be configured on the ZoneRanger in order to proxy
SNMPv3 requests. If checked, when the ZoneRanger receives a SNMPv3 proxy request, a
valid SNMPv3 user must be configured in order for the ZoneRanger to proxy the request. If no
valid SNMPv3 user is found, the proxy request is discarded.
ZoneRanger receives an SNMPv3 proxy request, it will attempt to validate the request using the
configured SNMPv3 users. However, if no valid SNMPv3 user is found, the ZoneRanger will
still proxy the request. Note that SNMP caching is only possible for SNMPv3 requests with
configured users or if the proxy request uses noAuthNoPriv Security Level.
