Configure Engine access rules to allow SNMP queries from trusted SNMP managers

Automatic rules do not allow SNMP traffic to and from the engine.

The administrator must do the following:
  1. Create access rule that allow SNMP queries from trusted SNMP manager hosts.
  2. Create access rule that allow engines to send SNMP traps to SNMP trap receivers.
Note: It is recommended to allow SNMP probing of the engine only from trusted sources.

For more details on how to create access rules, refer to the Access rules section.

For example, access rule to allow SNMP queries from trusted SNMP managers:
Table 1.
Source Destination Service Action Comment
SNMP-manager-host $$ Local Cluster (NDI addresses only) SNMP (UDP) Allow Rule to allow SNMP queries
$$ Local Cluster (NDI addresses only SNMP-manager-host SNMP Trap (UDP) Allow Rule to allow SNMP queries
Note: The SNMP-manager-host is the network element for the SNMP manager used in the environment.
