SNMP access parameterDescription
Start SNMP
  • Enable/disable SNMP daemon in the device
Contact

  • Used as a reference information about physical device’s location
Enable SNMP v1 and v2c
  • Enable/disable SNMP v.1 and v.2c support
  • The first version of the SNMP protocol lacks security in the operation of the protocol itself, which hinders its use for network management, so SNMP v.1 and v.2c works only in read-only mode
  • By default, it is enabled
Community
  • Set the community name for read-only mode (SNMP v.1 and v.2c only)
  • The default SNMP v.1 and v.2c community name is "public"
  • It is a security method for SNMP v.1 and v.2c, as agents can be set to reply only to queries received by accepted community names
  • 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
  • Set the security level:
    • "No Authorization No Privacy" - the lowest level means no authentication or privacy, you have to set the User Name only
    • "Authorization No Privacy" - the medium level means authorization and no privacy, you have to set User Name and Password
    • "Authorization and Privacy" - the highest level means authorization and privacy, you have to set the User Name, Password and Privacy Password
Read only
  • Enable/disable the read-only permission
  • Read/Write is the default value
Admin

For example, the ability to reboot the device

  • Limited access is the default value

  • Set the privacy password
  • It is necessary when privacy is enabled for the required security level

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.

In this section, you can view and edit the current "SNMP traps" settings. You can clone, remove and clear target and traps by clicking the corresponding buttons:
