5.9.3 SNMP
In brief, SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol designed to give a user
the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and
monitoring network events.
In typical SNMP uses, one or more administrative computers, called managers, have the task of
monitoring or managing a group of hosts or devices on a computer network. Each managed system
executes, at all times, a software component called an agent which reports information via SNMP to
the manager.
SNMP agents expose management data on the managed systems as variables. The protocol also
permits active management tasks, such as modifying and applying a new configuration through remote
modification of these variables. The variables accessible via SNMP are organized in hierarchies. These
hierarchies, and other metadata (such as type and description of the variable), are described by
Management Information Bases (MIBs).
The device supports several public MIBs and one private MIB for the SNMP agent. The supported
MIBs are as follow:
Supported MIBs
MIB‐II (RFC 1213, Include IPv6)
IF‐MIB, IP‐MIB, TCP‐MIB, UDP‐MIB
SMIv1 and SMIv2
SNMPv2‐TM and SNMPv2‐MIB
AMIB (AMIT Private MIB)
In "SNMP" page, there are two configuration windows for SNMP function, including the
"Configuration" window and the "User Privacy Definition" window. The "Configuration" window can let
you configure the embedded SNMP agent in the gateway to run SNMP function. In addition, the "User
Privacy Definition" window is for SNMPv3 only and provides 5 records of user privacy definition for user
authentication and data hashing and encryption.
Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required.
