Set up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service

Updated
This article applies only to On-Premise Appliance, not to our Cloud products.

 

Turn on SNMP on your Smoothwall Appliance so your monitoring platform can query it for status updates as part of your network monitoring.

Note

To view information and statistics for the SNMP service, refer to your SNMP management tool’s documentation.

  1. Create a Smoothwall access rule for the SNMP (161, 199) service.
  2. Turn on SNMP data sharing:
    1. Go to Services > SNMP > SNMP.
    2. Select the Enabled checkbox.
    3. Edit the Community field to add your SNMP community string, or leave as the default ‘smoothwallsnmp’.
    4. Select Save.
