Using a SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets you monitor and manage your router from an
SNMP Manager. It provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to
manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.
The SNMP Configuration table lists the SNMP configurations by:
IP Address
: The IP address of the SNMP manager.
Port
: The trap port of the configuration.
Community
: The trap community string of the configuration.
To create a new SNMP configuration entry:
1.
Select
Administration
from the main menu and
SNMP
from the submenu. The
SNMP
screen
will display.
2.
Under
Create New SNMP Configuration Entry,
enter the IP Address of the SNMP manager
in the
IP Address
field and the Subnet Mask in the
Subnet Mask
field.
If you want to allow only the host address to access the VPN firewall and receive traps (for
example, see
Figure 6-3
), enter an IP Address of, for example, 192.168.1.100 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.
255
.
If you want to allow a subnet access to the VPN firewall through SNMP, enter an IP
address of, for example,192.168.1.100 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.
0
. The traps
will still be received on 192.168.1.100, but the entire subnet will have access through the
community string.
Note:
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as
practical.
