SNMP : Simple Network Management Protocol
Rev 3.0B Feb.08 83
SNMP Configuration
To configure your Raven to work as an SNMP agent, you can
use either AceManager, or a terminal connection to configure
the modem using AT commands. In AceManager, the SNMP
commands are all part of the Other group under the Common
group.
There are only three commands to set for SNMP in the Raven:
the listening port, the security level, and the trap destination.
Figure 9-1: AceManager : Common > Other
Listening Port
*SNMPPORT sets the port for the SNMP agent to listen on. If set
to zero, default, SNMP is disabled.
Tip: SNMP generally uses port 161, however most Internet providers
(including cellular) block all ports below 1024 as a security measure.
You should be able to use a higher numbered port such as 10161.
Security Level
*SNMPSECLVL sets the security level and which version of
SNMP communications are used.
• 0 ‐ No security required. SNMPv2c and SMNPv3 commu‐
nications are allowed.
• 1 ‐ Authentication required. SNMPv3 is required to do
authentication and SNMPv2c transmissions will be silently
discarded. Authentication is equivalent to the authNoPriv
setting in SNMPv3.
• 2 ‐ Authentication required and messages are encrypted.
SNMPv3 is required to do authentication. SNMPv2c and
SNMPv3 authNoPriv transmissions will be silently
discarded. Authentication and encryption is equivalent to
the authPriv setting in SNMPv3.
