DI-308 ISDN Remote Router

The parameters are described below:
•
IP Address – Enter the IP address of the host who will act as an SNMP
Management Station. The DI-308 router will send SNMP traps to these addresses.
•
SNMP Community String – The community string is a user-defined identifying
name used to group together some arbitrary set of SNMP application entities
managed by the network manager. Traps will be sent to the IP Address (previous
parameter) as long as the corresponding Community String, in the Management
Station’s trap manager software, is the same.
•
State – This validates or invalidates the use of the SNMP Community String, by
setting the use of the string to Valid or Invalid. Note that setting the string to
Invalid is the same as removing the string, however, the string remains so as to be
validated again at an appropriate time.
SNMP Authenticated Trap
Returning to the SNMP Agent Configuration menu, you can Enable or Disable an
authentication failure trap message being sent to the Management Station by the
router. When an SNMP packet with an invalid community name is received, it will
be dropped. If this parameter is enabled, a trap will be sent to the network manager;
if this parameter is disabled, no trap will be sent.
Advanced Functions
The Advanced Functions menu contains most of the more complex configuration
settings and is shown below:
