Security Configuration

The SNMP Security Configuration page is used to view and set the SNMP (Win32 Service) Security configuration.

The SNMP Agent page allows setting the SNMP Community String, Accepted Host List, and Send Authentication Trap settings for the SNMP service.

The security rights for an accepted community name are NONE, NOTIFY, READ_ONLY, READ_WRITE and READ_CREATE.

The accepted host list is the host names or IP addresses of the machines that your server is allowed to accept SNMP requests from.

Note:  The accepted host list will always have "127.0.0.1" listed by default so that SNMP and the Web Agent service will function correctly.

You can disable or enable the Send Authentication Trap flag.

You may add, edit or remove security configurations. After the changes have been made on the browser, you need to click the Apply button.

If your server is running Windows NT 4.0, the SNMP security settings will not take effect until you click the Restart Agents button. Wait until you have completed changing all of the settings (Agent, Security, Traps) before clicking the Restart Agents button, you will not be able to refresh the page or make other changes while the restart is occurring. Once you click the Restart Agents button, and then refresh the page to view the updated information.
