What DumbMonit watches

The most universal type: almost every piece of network hardware speaks SNMP. Switches, routers, NAS, UPS and printers all qualify. SNMP v1, v2c and v3 are supported.

Typical use. Switch, router, NAS, UPS, printer

Examples

  • Switch
  • Router
  • NAS
  • UPS
  • Printer

How it connects

What you need

  • SNMP v1 / v2c (community)The simplest form: one shared word, sent unencrypted.
  • SNMP v3 (user, authentication, privacy)Authenticated and encrypted. Needs a USM user on the device.

Network ports to open

  • 161/UDPSNMP (default)
Setup steps: Enable SNMP on the device
  1. Open the device's web interface and find its SNMP settings, often under Network, Services or Administration.

  2. Enable SNMP v2c and note the read-only community (public on many devices).

  3. If the device filters by address, allow this server's address.

  4. In DumbMonit, enter the address and the community: the rest is detected automatically.

Heads-up. A community is not encrypted on the network: on a shared network, prefer SNMP v3, which authenticates and encrypts.
