The SNMP protocol lets you set up monitoring and logging on your DLink router. SNMP sends alerts when issues arise, and the service logs any access attempts to a log file. You must enable the SNMP protocol on a DLink router. The configuration is set up in the console application, which is available from a Web browser.
