SNMP/Thresholds
The SNMP/Thresholds configuration page allows setup and maintenance of all SNMP agent settings required to
enable SNMP. The page also provides access to the trap configuration pages for towers, input feed, environmental
monitor, and sensors.
NOTE: Traps are generated according to a hierarchical architecture; for example, if a tower status enters a trap condition, only the tower
status trap is generated. Infeed and outlet status traps are suppressed until the tower status returns to normal.
About SNMP versions:
The firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3.
SNMP version 3 supports authentication and encryption on a per user basis. Authentication types are None and MD5.
Encryption types are None and DES. If you use authentication, you must use encryption.
Two SNMPv3 users are supported: one user with read-write (RW) access, and one user with read-only (RO) access
Both users have the same configuration parameters, and you can configure each user independently.
SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 can be enabled or disabled independently. You can have SNMPv2 and/or SNMPv3, or none.
Enabling or disabling SNMP v3 support:
Select Enabled or Disabled from the SNMPv3 Agent drop-down menu and click Apply.
NOTE: The default for SNMP support is Enabled. When Server Technology products are shipped, the default SNMP configuration for the
GET community string is set to “public” and the SET community string is left blank.
