Configure your device for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support. When
SNMP is not enabled, an SSL connection between the SMS and the device transfers Alert
messages reliably and securely. Alerts sent using SNMP can be encrypted if DES or
AES is selected in the SNMP User Privacy settings.
Specify the properties for SNMP traps, users, and communities.

NoteTo use SNMP v3 for NMS traps, you must configure Services for SNMP v3 or Both.

You can create multiple SNMPv2c communities to support NMS, IPs, or subnets. Each
community can have multiple rules; however, the source IP address must be different.
For example, you can create a rule for a Community named Public with a source IP address
of 1.1.1.1. You can have a second rule for Public with a source IP address of 2.2.2.2.
After you enable SNMP, it might take a couple of seconds to start the SNMP daemon.
In the
unlikely case of a collision with another device, you can change the Engine ID to
a different
value; however, the new value must be unique. Note that changing the Engine ID regenerates
each read-only user, which affects connectivity.
