Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI
Layer 7 Application designed
specifically for managing and
monitoring network devices.
SNMP enables network
management stations to read
and modify the settings of
gateways, routers, switches,
and other network devices.
Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, performance monitoring,
and detection of potential problems in the Router or network.
The SNMP IP Management Address is the address of the PC
running the SNMP software from the DVG-G1402S device. A
defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the
SNMP agent and used to manage the device. Enter the IP
address of PC that you want to use to manage the network.
You may also enter a backup address of another PC that can
manage the network.

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that
occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot
(someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious
like a port status change. The Router generates traps and
sends them to the trap management server. Typical traps
include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology
Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storms. Use the pull-down
menu to enable or disable the SNMP on the device. Enter the
Trap Manager IP
and
Trap Community Name
of
the trap
management server.
