SNMP User Configuration Settings

Appropriately credentialled users configure SNMP from the /appliance interface. To enable SNMP for your B Series Appliance, go to /appliance > Networking > SNMP. You can find your B Series Appliance manual at www.beyondtrust.com/docs/index.htm.

If using SNMPv2, check the box beside Enable SNMPv2.

Enabling SNMPv2 allows the B Series Appliance to be available for SNMP queries.

Next, enter a Read-Only Community Name value, a System Location value, and IP Restrictions in the corresponding free text fields.

IP Restrictions are those IP addresses permitted to query your B Series Appliance using SNMP.

If you enter NO IP addresses in the field for IP Restrictions, you will grant access to ALL hosts.

If using SNMPv3:

1. Enter a Username and Password.
2. Select the Authentication Method of your choice from the dropdown menu
3. Check SNMPv3 Enable Privacy if you want to encrypt communications to the client.
4. Enter a Privacy Password and select a Privacy Method.

Click Save Changes when done.
