Configuring SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer (Layer 7) protocol that is
used by network management systems for monitoring the status of network-connected devices.
SNMP enables administrators to monitor network performance, identify bottlenecks and plan for
network expansion.
The STM150 provides support for report aggregation via SNMP version 1. You can configure it to
send SNMP traps to management stations on the network.
To configure the SNMP settings
1. On the menu, click Administration > SNMP.
2. Select the Enable SNMP Yes radio button.
•In Read community, type the community name that SNMP management stations on the
network need to use to retrieve the STM150’s SNMP parameters.
•In Set community (write), type the community name that management stations need to
use to set or write the STM150’s SNMP parameters.
