Configuring SNMP Settings

You can enable or disable SNMP communication between an SNMP manager and the PXE device.

Besides, you may need to configure the SNMP destination(s) if the built-in "System SNMP Notification Rule" is enabled and the SNMP destination has not been set yet. See Event Rules and Actions.

  1. Choose Device Settings > Network Services > SNMP. The SNMP Settings dialog appears.

  2. Select the "enable" checkbox in the "SNMP v1 / v2c" field to enable communication with an SNMP manager using SNMP v1 or v2c protocol.
  3. Select the "enable" checkbox in the "SNMP v3" field to enable communication with an SNMP manager using SNMP v3 protocol.

    Tip: You can permit or disallow a user to access the PXE via the SNMP v3 protocol. See Configuring Users for Encrypted SNMP v3.

  4. Enter the MIB-II system group information, if applicable:
    1. sysContact - the contact person in charge of the system being contacted
    2. sysName - the name assigned to the system
    3. sysLocation - the location of the system
  5. Select the MIB to be downloaded. The SNMP MIB for your PXE is used by the SNMP manager.

    Important: You must download the SNMP MIB for your PXE to use with your SNMP manager. Click Download MIB in this dialog to download the desired MIB file. For more details, see Downloading SNMP MIB.
