SNMP allows the administrator to gather information about key device parameters and wireless links, including information about changes. The use of InfiMONITOR or any other monitoring system helps to timely receive information about the network infrastructure state using Infinet devices. Currently, the devices family supports SNMP protocol versions v.1 and v.2c.
The SNMP Protocol has two branches, the agent and the management stations:
- The agent sends data to the management station. Monitoring system - provides data gathering from all agents in the network.
- The monitoring system receives and processes events.
- The information is passed through requests and replies with the use of the MIB
- The management station or monitoring system is responsible for decoding the SNMP packets and providing an interface to the administrator.

Enabled by default | | Community | Set the community name for read-only mode of SNMP v.1 and v.2c, by default: "public". The community name passes along with the data packet in clear text |
