1-4-9 SNMP Agent
The SNMP agent passes internal status information from the built-in EtherNet/IP port to network man-
agement software that uses an SNMP manager.
SNMP Trap
When specific conditions occur, the built-in EtherNet/IP port that is set as the SNMP agent sends
status notification reports to the SNMP manager. The SNMP manager can learn about changes in
status even without periodically monitoring of the built-in EtherNet/IP port. Status notification reports
are sent under the following conditions.
• When the Controller is turned ON
• When links are established
• When an SNMP agent fails to be authorized
