Chapter 7 Management Tab SNMP Agent You can get the traffic information and transmit condition by using the SNMP Agent function. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on. Under the circumstance of network working normally, SNMP can play a part in statistics, configuration and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles. Configuring this device as SNMP Agent, it can receive and process the management message from the network management system.

You can get the traffic information and transmit condition by using the SNMP Agent function.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between network devices. Main functions of SNMP include
monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices,
and so on. Under the circumstance of network working normally, SNMP can play a part in statistics,
configuration and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles.
Configuring this device as SNMP Agent, it can receive and process the management message from the
network management system.
SNMP Agent
Enable
the SNMP Agent function and the SNMP Agent will gather the
information of this device and respond to information requests from one or
more management systems.
SysContact
Enter the information of the contact person for this managed node.
SysName
Enter an administratively-assigned name for this managed node.
SysLocation
Enter the physical location of this managed node.
Get Community
Community refers to a host group aiming at network management. Get
Community only has the read-only right of the device's SNMP information. The
get community name can be considered as a password used to restrict the
access right of SMNP managers. The default name is public.
Get Source
Defines the IP address (for example, 10.10.10.1) or subnet (for example,
10.10.10.0/24) for management systems that can serve as Get Community to read
the SNMP information of this device. The default is 0.0.0.0, which means all hosts
can read the SNMP information of this device.
