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 IX10 device supports both SNMPv3 and SNMPv2c in read-only mode. Both are disabled by default.
SNMPv1 is not supported.
SNMP Security
By default, the IX10 device automatically blocks SNMP packets from being received over WAN and LAN
interfaces. As a result, if you want a IX10 device to receive SNMP packets, you must configure the
SNMP access control list to allow the device to receive the packets. See
