Enable SNMP v1 and v2c

  • The default SNMP v.1 and v.2c community name is "public"

  • In SNMP v.1 and v.2c the community name passes along with the data packet in clear text
User Name
  • Set the authorization user name of SNMP v.3
Password
  • Set the authorization password of SNMP v.3
Security

    • "Authorization and Privacy" - the highest level means authorization and privacy, you have to set the User Name, Password and Privacy Password
Read only

SNMP traps

SNMP protocol operation requires a network agent instance to send asynchronous messages (traps) whenever a specific event occurs on the controlled device (object). InfiNet Wireless units have a built-in "SNMP Traps" support module (which acts as an agent) that performs a centralized information delivery from unit internal subsystems to the SNMP server. This zone focuses on "SNMP Traps" agent configuration.
