SNMP configuration
This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The
Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that
facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices.
It helps network administrators to remotely manage network devices and find,
solve network problems with ease.
The SNMP consists of the following three key components:
1. Manager: Network-Management Station (NMS), a server which executes
applications that monitor and control managed devices.
2. Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device
which transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.
3. Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example:
routers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones,
network cameras, web server, and database.
Before configuring SNMP setting on this page, please enable your NMS first.
Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2c: Select this option and enter the names of Read/
Write community and Read Only community according to your NMS setting.
Enable SNMPv3: This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security
level which allows you to set the Authentication password and the Encryption
password.
• Security name: According to your NMS setting, choose Read/Write or
Read Only and enter the community name.
• Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.
• Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least
8 characters).
