Configuring SNMP

Datacryptor units record all significant management and error events in their logs for later
examination, but can also be configured to report them immediately to a central location, by
using the SNMP protocol - to help centralize and simplify management. Events are reported as
SNMP Traps V1, v2c, or v3 (as selected on the Traps tab – see below), to a central device
(typically a PC) called an SNMP Network Manager. This SNMP Network Manager must be
compliant with the SNMP agent version support selection on the Agent Configuration tab – see
below. A list of the

log and SNMP trap numbers

with descriptions is provided as an appendix to

this guide.

To configure SNMP, click the SNMP Config button on the unit’s IP Management tab to display
the SNMP Config dialog. This dialog has two tabs – the Agent Configuration tab and the Traps
tab.

Agent Configuration Tab

The Agent Configuration tab lists the SNMP communities defined for this unit, and provides
facilities to maintain the list.
