About SNMP basic settings
You configure SNMP basic contact and trap receiver settings to allow events to be reported to an SNMP agent in the SNMP Basic page.
Traps are messages sent by an SNMP entity that indicate the occurrence of an event. The default system configuration doesn’t include SNMP traps.
RiOS 7.0 and later provide support for these SNMP versions:
• SNMPv1
• SNMPv2c
• SNMPv3, which provides authentication through the User-based Security Model (USM).
• View-Based Access Control Mechanism (VACM), which provides richer access control.
• SNMPv3 authentication using AES 128 and DES encryption privacy.
You set the default community string on the SNMP Basic page. To set more than one SNMP community string, go to Knowledge Base article
S16345.
For details about SNMP traps sent to configured servers, see
