Configuring SNMP Settings

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to collect and organize information about managed devices on a network. Enabling the SNMP service allows for the immediate reporting of events, such as warnings or errors, to a Network Management Station (NMS).

Open QuNetSwitch.
Go to System > System Settings > SNMP.
Select Enable SNMP Service.

Select the SNMP version that the NMS uses.

Option	User Action
SNMPv2c	Specify an SNMP community name that contains 1 to 64 characters from any of the following groups: Letters: A to Z, a to z Numbers: 0 to 9 The SNMP community string functions as a password that is used to authenticate messages sent between the NMS and the device. Every packet that is transmitted between the NMS and the SNMP agent includes the community string.
SNMPv3	Specify the username, authentication protocol and password, and privacy protocol and password. Specify a username. Specify a username. Note: The username should contain 1 to 32 characters from any of the following groups: Letters: A to Z, a to z Numbers: 0 to 9 Multi-byte characters: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian Special characters: All except " ' / \ Select Authentication. Specify the authentication protocol. Tip: You can select either HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA. If you are unsure about this setting, QNAP recommends selecting HMAC-SHA. Specify an authentication password that contains 8 to 64 ASCII characters. Select Privacy. Specify a privacy password that contains 8 to 64 ASCII characters.
