Configuring SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol used over
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) that lets you monitor and manage the security
appliance from a SNMP manager. SNMP provides a remote means to monitor and
control the network devices, and to manage the configuration, statistics collection,
performance, and security.
Click Device Management > Administration > SNMP.
Click On to enable SNMP, or click Off to disable SNMP. By default, SNMP is
disabled.
If you enable SNMP, specify the SNMP version. The security appliance provides
support for network monitoring using SNMP Versions 1, 2c, and 3. By default,
SNMP Version 1 and 2 is selected.
After you enable SNMP and select the SNMP version, enter the following
information:
• System Contact: Enter the name of the contact person for your security
appliance.
• Device: Enter the device name for easy identification of your security
appliance.
• System Location: Enter the physical location of your security appliance.
• Security User Name: Enter the name of the administrator account with the
ability to access and manage the SNMP MIB objects. This is only available
for SNMPv3.
• Authentication Password: Enter the password of the administrator account
for authentication (the minimum length of password is 8 characters). This is
only available for SNMPv3.
• Encrypted Password: Enter the password for data encryption (the minimum
length of password is 8 characters). This is only available for SNMPv3.
• SNMP Engine ID: The engine ID of the SNMP entity. The engine ID is used
as a unique identification between two SNMP entities. This is only available
for SNMPv3.
To enable SNMP Trap, enter the following information:
• SNMP Read-Only Community: Enter the read-only community used to
access the SNMP entity.
