SNMP¶
The Simple Network Management Protocol v2 (SNMP) agent allows devices to query the gateway for information or change that information. The Lantronix SNMP agent supports responding to RFC MIBs and custom MIBs, and sending notifications (traps). With traps enabled, the gateway will send notifications to the specified destination when the gateway is powered on, its network link is established, or its network link is disabled.
The Lantronix SNMP agent may be extended to support distributed MIBs loaded into the host processor rather than requiring customized agent code to be loaded into the xPico 600 firmware.
SNMP Status¶
You can view the current status of the SNMP Agent, the System Name, and the System Description.
To view SNMP status:
- In Web Manager, go to SNMP > Status.
- For CLI, see Status SNMP level.
SNMP Configuration¶
To configure SNMP:
- In Web Manager, go to SNMP > Configuration.
- For CLI, see Config SNMP level.
- For XML, see configgroup SNMP.
