6.6.3.5 SNMP

Note: SNMPv3 is supported.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an internet standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behaviour. In general an SNMP management suite (running on a server) communicates with an SNMP agent (running on the device). The SNMP agent collects and exposes device information in the form of variables according a MIB (Management Information Base). SNMP management suites will be able to approach ClickShare devices via SNMP protocol for requesting device information.

How to configure SNMP
  1. Enable the SNMP feature by checking the checkbox in front of “Enable”

  2. Decide which engine ID must be used:

    • Default, check the checkbox in front of “Use default Engine ID”.
    • Custom, enter the desired engine ID in the input field after “Engine ID” while the checkbox in front of “Use default Engine ID” is unchecked.

  3. Enter the address of the host that must receive the events/messages, in the input field after “SNMP manager”.

    Possible TRAP events/messages are:

    • Alarm “CPU temperature” trap, which indicates that CPU temperature exceeds the threshold.
    • Alarm “Case Fan Speed” trap, which indicates the case fan is spinning too slow.
    • Alarm “Process Not Running” trap, which indicates one of the monitored processes is not running.
  4. Enter a username in the input field after “Username”.

  5. Enter a password in the input field after “New password”.

    The strength of the entered password will be reflected in the progress bar below. The color will change depending on how much of the progress bar is filled.

    It is strongly advised to choose a password that colors the progress bar green!

  6. Enter the chosen password a second time in the input field after “Confirm password”.
  7. Click “Save changes” at the top of the page to commit the changes to the Base Unit!
