SNMP Trap Source Interface Configuration

Use this page to specify the physical or logical interface to use as the SNMP client source interface. When an
IP address is configured on the source interface, this address is used for all SNMP communications between
the local SNMP client and the remote SNMP server. The IP address of the designated source interface is used
in the IP header of SNMP management protocol packets. This allows security devices, such as firewalls, to
identify all source packets coming from a specific device.
To access the SNMP Trap Source Interface Configuration page, click System > Advanced Configuration >
SNMP > Source Interface Configuration in the navigation menu.

Description
An SNMP group is a group to which hosts running the SNMP service belong. A group name parameter
is simply the name of that group by which SNMP communities are identified. The use of a group name
provides some security and context for agents receiving requests and initiating traps and does the
same for management systems and their tasks. An SNMP agent won't respond to a request from a
management system outside its configured group, but an agent can be a member of multiple groups
at the same time. This allows for communications with SNMP managers from different groups.
