SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an internet standard that collects and organizes information about devices managed on IP networks. The SNMP also modifies the information collected and organized to change the behavior of the device. 

**Requirement:**

- [Connection to the web interface](/network/key_access_web_interface/)

1. Click **Tools / Edit General Settings**.
2. Below **SNMP:** click enabled or disabled.
3. Click **Apply settings and stay where you are** or **Apply settings and leave edit**. 

The SNMP is enabled or disabled, depending on what was set. The settings are saved in the startup configuration.
