Configuring the SNMP server

It is possible to send SNMP v1, v2 and v3 traps.

  1. Activate the SNMP server to report system errors by means of SNMP messages.
  2. Enter the ManagementHost.
  3. Enter the ManagementHostTrapListenPort, the LocalTrapSendPort and the CommunityString in accordance with the settings required for the SNMP server.

If the SNMP component (Simple Network Management Protocol) is installed in the Control Panel > Software > Add / Remove Windows Components > Management and Monitoring Programs, a different port for LocalTrapSendPort must be set, because transmission is not possible via port 161. If port 161 is set as the default, it will not work.

SNMP v1/v2
  1. Activate SNMP v1 or SNMP v2. SNMP v2 adds simple security features, whereas SNMP v1 has none.
  2. Enter the CommunityString to enable correct responses from the host.
SNMP v3

SNMP v3 is currently the most secure protocol version.

  1. Activate SNMP v3.
  2. Enter the Security Name, Authentication Type, Authentication Password, Encryption Type, and the Encryption Password.
  3. To test the settings, click Send SNMP test message to check the settings.
  4. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
  5. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
