From the Main Menu, select SNMP in the System Configuration screen and press Return. The SNMP Setup
screen appears.
Follow these steps to configure the first three items in the screen:
1.
Select System Name and enter a descriptive name for the Netopia R5000 Series Router’s SNMP agent.
2.
Select System Location and enter the router’s physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).
3.
Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the router.
System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Netopia R5000 Series
Router SNMP agent for the SysName, SysLocation, and SysContact objects, respectively, in the MIB II system
group. Although optional, the information you enter in these items can help a system administrator manage the
network more efficiently.

The Read-Only Community String and the Read/Write Community String are like passwords that must be used
by an SNMP manager quer ying or configuring the Netopia R5000 Series Router. An SNMP manager using the
Read-Only Community String can examine statistics and configuration information from the router, but cannot
modify the router’s configuration. An SNMP manager using the Read/Write Community String can both
examine and modify configuration parameters.
