Configuring the SNMP Agent
Original instructions
About us
Description
The BMENOP0300 module includes an SNMP v1 agent. An SNMP agent is a software component running on the BMENOP0300 module that allows access to the module diagnostic and management information via the SNMP service. The SNMP tab is disabled by default in the Modicon IEC 61850 configuration tool.
SNMP browsers, network management software, and other tools typically use SNMP to access this data. In addition, the SNMP agent can be configured with a maximum of two IP addresses, typically from PCs running network management software, to be the target of event driven trap messages. These trap messages inform the management device of events such as cold start and unauthorized access.
Use the Communication  Settings → SNMP tab to configure the SNMP agent in the BMENOP0300 module.
The SNMP agent can connect to and communicate with up to 2 SNMP managers as part of an SNMP service. The diagnostic information provided by the SNMP service is Standard SNMP MIB 2.
