SNMP provides an easy way to manage network devices. The main features are:
1.
Monitoring device uptime
2.
System detail description. (Ex: model name, model description and firmware version.)
3.
Collect interface information. (Ex: MAC address, interface speed, local port.)
4.
Measuring network interface throughput.
To use SNMP, just
enable
SNMP function in the device (SNMP agents) and run SNMP
management software in server (NMS: Network Management Station) to connect to the devices.
The SNMP agent supports versions V1, V2 and V3. SNMP V1 is the initial implementation of
SNMP. SNMP V2 is proposed to enhance the performance of management, such as the
communication of server and devices, the confirmation of information delivery and receipt.
Primary additions in SNMP V3 concern security and remote configuration enhancements.
SNMP V1/V2
uses the
“Community” name as password to authenticate identity. “Read
Community” is the password for server to get information from devices. “Write Community” is the
password for server to edit values on devices. The default is “public” for Read Community and
“write” for Write Community. Of course, you can set any other password as your read/write
community.
You can enable V1, V2 or both. Click
Apply
after setup is complete.
