6.5 Configuring SNMP
6.5.1 Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for managing network devices. Based on the
client/server model, it can achieve remote monitoring and control of network devices.
SNMP uses a manager and agent architecture. The manager communicates with agents through the SNMP
protocol to retrieve information such as device status, configuration details, and performance data. It can also
be used to configure and manage devices.
SNMP can be used to manage various network devices, including routers, switches, servers, firewalls, etc. You
can achieve user management through the SNMP configuration interface and monitor and control devices
through the third-party software.
6.5.2 Global Configuration
1. Overview
The purpose of global configuration is to enable the SNMP service and make the SNMP protocol version
(v1/v2c/v3) take effect, so as to achieve basic configuration of local port, device location, and contact information.
SNMP v1: As the earliest version of SNMP, SNMP v1 has poor security, and only supports simple community
string authentication. SNMP v1 has certain flaws, such as plaintext transmission of community strings and
vulnerability to attacks. Therefore, SNMP v1 is not recommended for modern networks.
