If SNMP is used as recommended, no public client is allowed unauthenticated access to either

managed clients or to the MergePoint SP manager. For compatibility with other clients,

unencrypted transfer of data is possible with SNMP v3 connections, but strongly discouraged.

• User and group information for v3 connections must be different from the user and group

names used for accessing the MergePoint SP manager.

The administrator can configure the following:

• General information provided by the MergePoint SP manager, including location and

contact fields

• Who has access to SNMP information

Configuring SNMP on the MergePoint SPmanager

The Admin user can configure SNMP access for the MergePoint SP manager by clicking

Network - SNMP.

To configure the MergePoint appliance SNMP settings:

1. Click Network - SNMP.

2. In the SysContact field, type the contact information of the MergePoint SP manager

administrator.

3. In the SysLocation field, type the location of the MergePoint SP manager.

4. Click Apply.

To configure views:

NOTE: Use the view settings to determine what information is shown when the SNMP request is returned. Multiple

views can be created. The views configured in this procedure for the MergePoint appliance are also used for the

SNMP requests to the SP.

1. Click Network - SNMP.

2. In the View area, click Add, then enter a name for the view.

3. Select Include or Exclude from the drop-down menu to include or exclude the defined OID

subtree.

4. Enter an OID for the object to be viewed and enter a mask to create an OID subtree in the

fields provided. Repeat to create more OID subtrees as desired.

NOTE: If the OID is numeric, a prefix of a decimal point is required. For example, type .1.3 instead of 1.3.

5. Click Apply.
