Lantronix SISGM1040-284-LRT Web User Guide Configuration > Security > Switch > SNMP > System This page lets you configure SNMP mode, version, community names, and engine ID. An SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So both parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click the Apply button; the setting takes effect. Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP manager and agent and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the management Information Base (MIB), described in the form of SMI syntax. SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the request issued by SNMP manager. Parameter descriptions: Mode: Indicates the SNMP mode operation. Possible modes are: Enabled: Enable SNMP mode operation. Disabled: Disable SNMP mode operation. Version: Indicates the SNMP supported version. Possible versions are: SNMP v1: Set SNMP supported version 1. SNMP v2c: Set SNMP supported version 2c. SNMP v3: Set SNMP supported version 3. Read Community: Indicates the community read access string to permit access to SNMP agent. The allowed string length is 0 - 255 characters, and the allowed content is the ASCII characters 33 - 126. This field is applicable only when SNMP version is SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c. If SNMP version is SNMPv3, the community string will be associated with SNMPv3 communities table. It provides more flexibility to configure security name than a SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community string. In addition to community string, a particular range of source addresses can be used to restrict source subnet. 33809 Rev. E https://www.lantronix.com/ Page 53 of 446
