Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for remotely managing and monitoring network devices. Network administrators can use the SNMP architecture to manage nodes, including servers, workstations, routers, switches, hubs, and other equipment on an IP network, manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
The Connect EZ 4/4i device supports both SNMPv3 and SNMPv2c in read-only mode. Both are disabled by default. SNMPv1 is not supported.
SNMP Security
By default, the Connect EZ 4/4i device automatically blocks SNMP packets from being received over
Standard and custom Management Information Bases (MIB)
The standard MIB defines the properties and access permissions for various managed objects so that you can query standard information about a device, like system contact or system location via SNMP monitoring. The custom MIB defines the unique properties and access permissions not found in the standard MIB. To view the MIB list, see Download MIBs.
Dynamic SNMP
To expose a specific device property for SNMP monitoring that is not included in the standard MIB - properties like serial number, system firmware version, hardware model name, and dynamic properties - you can query the runtime database for the property value and then add a Dynamic SNMP. The device property is added to the custom MIB.
