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 Downloading SNMP MIB (on page 520).
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.
For details, see
Configuring SNMP Settings
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.
For details, see
Creating Users
To enable SNMP notifications:
1.
Choose Device Settings > Network Services > SNMP.
