PC Concepts ADSL2+ User Manual

A complete SNMP setup includes the following items: 

-- A management station equipped with an SNMP manager client that enables sending 

messages to an SNMP agent (e.g., the modem). This configuration is not described here. 

-- A MIB stored in the modem's memory. This must be preconfigured in the software image 

by the ISP. 

-- The SNMP service enabled on the modem, including defined communities that allow 

read-only or read/write accesses from specific hosts. This configuration is described 

below. 

[Creating Communities] 

1.  If the SNMP configuration page is not already displaying, click the 

Admin tab and then click SNMP Config in the task bar. 

2.  On the SNMP Configuration page, type a community name in the 

empty text box in the left column of the table. 

3.  From the Access column of the table, select the privileges (read-only 

or read/write) to assign to all hosts that are part of this community. 

4. Click 

Add Comm. 

A page displays briefly to confirm your changes, and then the SNMP 

Configuration page redisplays with the new entry. 

 

[Adding Hosts to Communities] 

(a) 

In the Action column, click Add Host. 

(b) 

Enter the IP address of the host computer you want to add and click 

Submit. 

A page displays briefly to confirm the addition, and the SNMP - Add Host 

page redisplays 

(c) 

Continue adding hosts as required and click Cancel when done. 

 

The newly added hosts now have access to the MIB with the privilege level associated 

with the community.

main SNMP Configuration page.
