Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for remotely managing and monitoring
network devices. Network administrators can use the SNMP architecture to manage nodes, including
servers, workstations, routers, switches, hubs, and other equipment on an IP network, manage
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
The AnywhereUSB Plus device supports both SNMPv3 and SNMPv2c in read-only mode. Both are
disabled by default. SNMPv1 is not supported.
SNMP Security
By default, the AnywhereUSB Plus device automatically blocks SNMP packets from being received
over WAN and LAN interfaces. As a result, if you want a AnywhereUSB Plus device to receive SNMP
packets, you must configure the SNMP access control list to allow the device to receive the packets.
See Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
