Configure SNMP

Use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) protocol to manage and monitor network devices. Configure Digi devices to use SNMP features, or disable SNMP for security reasons. To configure SNMP settings, click the SNMP Settings link at the bottom of the System Configuration page.

 

SNMP settings include:

• Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): This checkbox enables or disables the use of SNMP.
• The Public community and Private community fields specify passwords required to get or set SNMP-managed objects. Changing public and private community names from their defaults is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to the device.
• Public community: The password required to get SNMP managed objects. The default is public.
• Private community: The password required to set SNMP managed objects. The default is private.
• Allow SNMP clients to set device settings through SNMP: This checkbox enables or disables the capability for users to issue SNMP “set” commands use of SNMP read-only for the AnywhereUSB.
• Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps: Enables or disables the generation of SNMP traps. Additional options are available at the bottom of the page for the SNMP traps: authentication failure, login, cold start, and link up traps.
