Introduction

You can centrally manage network devices and observe their status by pushing resource status to an SNMP trap server and using network management software.

Prerequisites

1. An SNMP server is configured. The following example uses Zabbix as an example. Zabbix V5.x and later are supported.
2. SCP has the public module enabled. To enable the public module, click Enable Public Module in Advanced Services.

Procedure

1. Log in to SCP, go to Resources > System > System > Services, find SNMP Agent, and click Activate Service. Download the SNMP MIB and Zabbix template, which are included in MONITOR_SNMP_MIB.zip.

2. After you click Activate Service, the following window pops up.

3. Specify whether to enable in-transit encryption (password and private key are required if in-transit encryption is enabled) and configure the source IP address (Zabbix IP). SCP allows only the source IP address to access and collect monitoring information. This prevents external attacks and efficiently reduces invalid requests. The figure below shows that SNMP Agent is activated.

4. Take note that if you select Disable for In-Transit Encryption and want to enable in-transit encryption later, you need to deactivate SNMP Agent and reconfigure in-transit encryption.
5. Disable encryption for host monitoring on Zabbix. To do this, log in to Zabbix, go to Configuration > Templates, and click Import, as shown in the figure below.

6. Decompress MONITOR_SNMP_MIB.zip and import SNMP_TEMPLATE_V1.0.xml. Take note that the name of the English template file contains EN. If no error is thrown, the file is successfully imported. Click the Host tab and add SCP hosts to be monitored. Enter custom host names, select the template that you imported, specify host groups, and select the SNMP protocol, as shown in the figure below.
