The widely available SNMP agent service allows easy access to the module's diagnostic information and event notification for certain services (for example, a change in network topology, an LED state, etc.).
Configure this service in the Control Expert DTM to manage IP addresses (MIB browser, ConneXview, etc.) or as an event trap.
The module uses the SNMP agent to support MIB II, which provides diagnostics information that is specified in the MIB files. The module supports these MIB levels:

The service runs on the module to allow SNMP manager applications to configure these SNMP objects:
The module runs SNMPv1 for this service. This version extends the capabilities of SNMP to address ministration and security issues. It is a Framework architecture that can be easily extended with new user security protocols. A new frame format has been defined for SNMPv1 adding among other things some security information. In particular, the PDU contents can be encrypted. SNMP uses UDP Transport layer protocol through port 161 and 162.
