In the Configuration tab, you make general settings for the integrated SNMP server.

Enabled

You can enable or disable the SNMP server here.

Port

Here, you can specify the port via which the SNMP server accepts connections. The default value is 1616.

Community string

For authentication with protocol variants V1 and V2c, only a so-called community string can be specified, which assumes the function of a password for the data traffic between SNMP server and SNMP client. The default value for the community string is "public".

Authentication, user name and password

For the V3 protocol version, the safety standard is higher and there are multiple methods of authentication and encryption for selection. Two standards are supported for the authentication:

• • MD5 (message-digest algorithm 5, hash function, 128 bit)

  • SHA (secure hash algorithm, SHA1 class, hash function, 160 bit)

In addition to selecting the authentication algorithm, you need to enter a user name and a password.

Encryption, key

For encryption, you can choose between:

• • no encryption

  • DES (data encryption standard)

  • AES (advanced encryption standard)

In addition to selecting the encryption type, you still need to enter a key.

The button with the eye icon is used to display the key and password.

Text encoding

Select a text encoding from the drop-down menu, which should be used for the SNMP server.
