Chapter 7
Enabling and Configuring SNMP
Using SNMP
This SNMP section helps you set up the PX3TS for use with an SNMP
manager. The PX3TS can be configured to send traps or informs to an
SNMP manager, as well as receive GET and SET commands in order to
retrieve status and configure some basic settings.

To communicate with an SNMP manager, you must enable SNMP
protocols on the PX3TS. By default the "read-only" mode of SNMP v1/v2c
is enabled.
The SNMP v3 protocol allows for encrypted communication. To take
advantage of this, you must configure the users with the SNMP v3 access
permission and set Authentication Pass Phrase and Privacy Pass Phrase,
which act as shared secrets between SNMP and the PX3TS.
Important: You must download the SNMP MIB for your PX3TS to use
with your SNMP manager. See
To enable SNMP v1/v2c and/or v3 protocols:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network Services > SNMP.
2. In the SNMP Agent section, enable SNMP v1/v2c or SNMP v3, and
configure related fields, such as the community strings.
If SNMP v3 is enabled, you must determine which users shall

have the SNMP v3 access permission. See below.
Configuring SNMP Settings
For details, see
To configure users for SNMP v3 access:
1. Choose User Management > Users.
2. Create or modify users to enable their SNMP v3 access permission.
If authentication and privacy is enabled, configure the SNMP

password(s) in the user settings.
