You can enable or disable SNMP access, specify the version of SNMP for the VSP One File server to use, and specify the host access.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Server > Management Access.
  2. In the Management Access page, click the Configuration tab, and then click the edit icon for SNMP Access Configuration.
  3. In the SNMP Access Configuration dialog box, complete the following information:
    1. From the SNMP Protocol Support list, select the version of the SNMP protocol that hosts must use when sending requests to the SNMP agent.
    2. Enter the port number that the VSP One File server uses to communicate through the SNMP protocol. The default is port 161.
    3. (Optional) To restrict SNMP protocol access to allowed hosts, set the Restrict Access To Allowed Host toggle switch to Yes.
    4. (Optional) In the Allowed Hosts box, enter the Hostname or IP address of the host that is allowed to access the VSP One File server using the protocol, and then click Add. To remove a host, click the delete icon.
      You can specify an IP address using the * character, for example, 10.168.*.* or 172.*.*.*.
  4. In the Allowed Communities box, enter the community host string that gives access to the Management Information Base (MIB), and then click Add. To remove a host, click the delete icon.

    An example of a community string is public.

    The VSP One File server SNMP agent maintains a MIB that includes information about the VSP One File server hardware and software. The MIB is organized in a tree structure, with each item of data assigned a unique object identifier (OID). An example OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1. The VSP One File server SNMP agent gives access to the VSP One File server MIB module, making management facilities available to the users beyond those listed in the MIB specification described in RFC1213. Click SNMP MIB Modules to download the VSP One File server MIB module locally.
