Chapter 15: Advanced Configuration
• The SNMP Service Details tab is shown by default. The SNMP Service Details tab controls aspects of the SNMP
Service including Security Level. It manages requests from external agents for status information.
• Check the Enable the SNMP Service box to start the SNMP Service. The Service is disabled by default.
• Select either UDP or TCP for the TCP/IP Protocol. UDP is the recommended protocol and is selected by default. TCP
should only be used in special cases such as when Port Forwarding SNMP requests/responses to or from the Console
Server device is required.
• Complete the Location and Contact fields. The Location field should describe the physical location of the Console Server
and will be used in response to requests for the SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 of the device. The Contact field refers to the
person responsible for the Console Server such as the System Administrator and will be used in response to requests as
follows: SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0.
• Enter the Read-Only Community and Read-Write Community. This is required for SNMP v1 & v2c only. The Read-
Only Community field is used to specify the SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community that will be allowed read-only (GET and
GETNEXT) access. This must be specified in order for both versions to become enabled. The Read-Write Community field
is used to specify the SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community that will be allowed read-write (GET, GETNEXT and SET) access.
• Configure SNMP v3, if required. SNMP v3 provides secure SNMP operations through the use of USM (User-based
Security Model). It offers various levels of security including user-based authentication and basic encryption.
o The Engine ID is used to localize the SNMPv3 user. It will be automatically generated from a Network Interface
(eth0) hardware address, if left blank, or must be entered as a hex value e.g. 0x01020304.
o Specify the Security Level:
