DEFINING SNMP PARAMETERS
The modem has an SNMP agent that allows it to be managed remotely by a Network
Management System (NMS). See page 91 for more information about managing the modem
through SNMP. Use the following table for a description of the SNMP parameters:
1 From the
system menu, click
general to open the General
System window.
2 Select Enable Trap Sending if
you want the modem to send
traps to a server.
3 Enter the
Trap Server IP
Address
for the server that the
traps will be sent to.
4 Enter the Trap Server Net Mask
(subnet mask) for the server
that the traps will be sent to
from the modem.
Information Description
Enable Trap Sending Enables/Disables SNMP messages to the trap server.
Trap Server IP Address The IP address of the server receiving the traps.
Trap Server Net Mask The subnet mask of the server receiving the traps.
Trap Community String The authentication string of the server receiving the traps. The default
string is public.
Read-Only Community
String
The authentication string for only viewing the modem
statistics/parameters. The SNMP management station must have the
same string in its configuration. The default is public.
Read-Write Community
String
The authentication string for viewing the modem statistics and
changing parameters. The SNMP management station must have
the same string in its configuration. The default is private.
You can change the community strings to names you choose. The fields have
default names as shown in the screen on page 39 and are case sensitive. If you
change the name, however, the community string names must match on both
the manager and agent to allow access to the SNMP function.
