Configuring SNMP for SB2+

This article assumes that the user knows some basics about SNMP such the difference between a manager and agent, and what the differences between encryption and authentication types are.  For more information see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol

Adding a SNMP Manager

1. Login to the device and click Alarm Configuration.
2. You can add as many SNMP Manager Configurations as needed, but clicking the Add Server Button
3. Enter the following information for each SNMP Manager
   1. IP Address: The IP Address of the manager
   2. Username: This is the username for SNMP v3 or the Community Name for SNMP v2c.
   3. Authentication Type: This can be None, MD5 or SHA.
      1. These are sorted in order in amount of security.
      2. This setting needs to reflect what the SNMP Manager is configured to receive.
   4. Encryption Type: This can be None, DES, AES
      1. These are sorted by amount of security.
      2. If Authentication is None, Encryption must be none.
      3. This setting needs to reflect what the SNMP Manager is configured to receive.
      4. If both Authentication and Encryption are none, the message is compatible with SNMP v2
   5. Password
      1. The token that is used to Authenticate and Encrypt the Alarm.  
      2. This must be set to the same value that is set on the manager.
