SNMP Server Settings

Configure the following settings for an SNMP Server.
Table 1. SNMP Server Settings
Field Description
SNMP Server Select an SNMP server from the drop-down list.

Choose the IP address or host name object for the SNMP server or servers that will be able to access the devices. To permit management access from a single SNMP server, choose an IP address or host name that defines just that server. To permit management access from an entire subnet, choose an IP address or host name that defines that subnet. If you do not see the IP address or host name that you need, select + and define one.

Version Select the version of SNMP that is running on the management station you intend to use from the drop-down list.
Operation Select the type of activity to permit between the specified SNMP management station and the devices in the network policy to which you will assign this profile.
Options include:
  • None: Disable all SNMP activity for the specified management station.
  • Get: Permit GET commands sent from the management station to a device to retrieve MIBs.
  • Get and Trap: Permit the reception of GET commands from the management station and the transmission of traps to the management station.
  • Trap: Permit devices to send messages notifying the management system of events of interest.
Community (For SNMP V2C and V1), enter a text string that must accompany queries from the management station. The community string acts similarly to a password, such that devices only accept queries from management stations that send the correct community string.

Select Save.

Repeat this procedure to add up to three SNMP servers to the profile.
