Configure SNMP

SNMP Username

Enter a username that identifies this SNMP Manager. Click in the SNMP Username field and enter the name.

SNMP Community Name

The SNMP Agent could require that an SNMP Manager send a particular password with each message. The SNMP Agent would then verify whether the SNMP Manager is authorized to access MIB information. This is used for security in SNMPv2. Most often there is one community string which is used for read-only access to an SNMP Agent. The default value for this community string is often "public". Using this community string like a password, the NMS can retrieve data from network elements. Click in the SNMP Community Name field and enter the name.
