This field is used to enter the authentication strings used for SNMP management. Match the MX2800 to 
the SNMP manager for write privileges.

This field is used to enter the identification string used for trap management. This string accompanies all 
traps transmitted by the MX2800.

This value is equivalent to the sysName item defined in RFC1213. The value is an administratively-
assigned name for the managed node. By convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name.

The MX2800 is capable of having the date and time provisioned from a remote server using one of two 
supported protocols: SNTP version 3 (per RFC1769) and Network Time (per RFC868).

Several options are available for provisioning this feature, all of which are accessible only via menus by 
users with Admin-level privileges. These options reside in the System Management menu.

This option sets the mode or protocol used to retrieve the date and time from the server. Possible values are 
Disabled, SNTP, and Net Time. When the State option is set to Disabled, the user should explicitly set the 
date and time locally (via menus, TL1, or SNMP). If the State option is set to SNTP or Net Time, then the 
product prevents any attempt to set the time locally. The default value is Disabled.

This option sets the IP address of the server to be queried for the date and time.

This option sets the length of time between queries to the server. The available values range are as follows:

• 1 minutes interval

• 5 minutes interval

• 10 minutes interval

• 15 minutes interval (default)

• 20 minutes interval

• 25 minutes interval

• 30 minutes interval

• 35 minutes interval
