SNMP Configuration
This section explains how to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The
SNMP is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management
information between network devices. It helps network administrators remotely
manage network devices. With SNMP, administrators can find and resolve network
problems with ease.
The SNMP consists of the following three key components:
1. Manager: Network-Management Station (NMS), a server that runs applications
to monitor and control managed devices.
2. Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which
transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.
3. Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers,
switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP phones, and network cameras.
Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2:
Before configuring SNMP settings, first enable your NMS. Check the box to Enable
SNMPv1, SNMPv2c. Enter the names of Read/Write community and Read Only
community according to your NMS settings.
Enable SNMPv3: This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security level
that allows you to set the Authentication password and the Encryption password.
• Security name: According to your NMS settings, choose Read/Write Security
Name or Read Only Security Name and enter the community name.
• Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.
• Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least eight
characters).
• Encryption password: Enter a password for encryption (at least eight characters).
IEEE 802.1x
Check the box to enable if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a
port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access
point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x settings.
