7.2 SNMP Agent

Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for Service Setting – SNMP Agent. This directs you to the

SNMP Agent page.

The SNMP collects and stores management

information for use in a network management

system. The WH-5000A integrated SNMP

agent software module translates

the device

management information into a common form for

interpretation by the SNMP manager, which

usually resides on a network administrator’s

computer.

In the current release, the SNMP agent module

support

SNMPv1,

SNMPv2C

and

SNMPv3. It also implements warmStart,

linkDown, linkUp, and authentication. The

SNMP configuration consists of several

fields, which are explained below:

`

Community:

The Community field for Get (Read Only), Set (Read & Write), and Trap is simply
the SNMP

terminology for “password” for those functions.

`

Source:

The IP address or name where the information is obtained.

`

Access Control:

Define the level of management interaction permitted.

If using SNMPv3, enter a username (minimum of eight characters), authentication type with key and data

encryption type with a key. This configuration information will also need to be entered in your MIB manager

setup.
