Configuration | System | Management Protocols | SNMP
This screen lets you configure and enable the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent.
When enabled, you can use an SNMP manager to collect information from the VPN 3002 but not to
configure it.
To use SNMP, you must also configure an SNMP Community on the Configuration | System |
Management Protocols | SNMP Communities screen.
The settings on this screen have no effect on sending system events to SNMP trap destinations (see
Configuration | System | Events | General and Trap Destinations). For those functions, the VPN 3002
acts as an SNMP client.
