SNMP Setting
The SNMP Setting item displays the SNMP configuration page.
SNMP provides an easy way to manage network devices. The main features are:
1. Monitoring device uptime
2. System detail description. (Ex: model name, model description and firmware version.)
3. Collect interface information. (Ex: MAC address, interface speed, local port.)
4. Measuring network interface throughput.
To use SNMP, just enable SNMP function in the camera (SNMP agents) and run SNMP management
software in server (NMS: Network Management Station) to connect to the devices.
The SNMP agent supports versions V1, V2 and V3. SNMP V1 is the initial implementation of SNMP. SNMP
V2 is proposed to enhance the performance of management, such as the communication of server and
devices, the confirmation of information delivery and receipt. Primary additions in SNMP V3 concern
security and remote configuration enhancements.
SNMP V1/V2 uses “Community” name as password to authenticate identity. “Read Community” is the
password for server to get information from devices. “Write Community” is the password for server to
edit values on devices. The default is “public” for Read Community and “write” for Write Community. Of
course, you can set any other password as your read/write community.
You can enable V1, V2 or both. Click “Apply” after you’ve completed setup.
The security method of SNMP V3 uses account/password for authentication. “Security Name” is the
account name to be used with your “Password”. The default security name is “public” and the password
must be at least 8 characters long. You also can set any other security name or password. Click “Apply”
after you’ve completed setup.
