Using an SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network management
systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe
the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing
applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your UTM from an SNMP manager. It provides a remote
means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection,
performance, and security.
To configure the SNMP settings:
1. Select Administration > SNMP from the menu. The SNMP screen displays.
