Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for remotely managing and monitoring
network devices. Network administrators can use the SNMP architecture to manage nodes, including
servers, workstations, routers, switches, hubs, and other equipment on an IP network, manage
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
The Connect IT 16/48 device supports SNMPv3, read-only mode. SNMPv1 and v2 are not supported.
SNMP Security
By default, the Connect IT 16/48 device automatically blocks SNMP packets from being received over
WAN and LAN interfaces. As a result, if you want a Connect IT 16/48 device to receive SNMP packets,
you must configure the SNMP access control list to allow the device to receive the packets. See
