Configuring SNMP<br />
<strong>Access</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Configuration<br />
Configuring SNMP<br />
You can use a network management application such as <strong>HP</strong> OpenView to<br />
manage the access point via the Simple Network Management Protocol<br />
(SNMP) from a network management station. To implement SNMP management,<br />
the access point must have an IP address and subnet mask, configured<br />
either manually or dynamically. Once an IP address has been configured,<br />
appropriate SNMP communities and trap receivers should be configured.<br />
Community names are used to control management access to SNMP stations,<br />
as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the access<br />
point. To communicate with the access point, a management station must first<br />
submit a valid community name for authentication. You therefore need to<br />
assign community names to specified users or user groups and set the access<br />
level.<br />
Web: Setting SNMP Parameters<br />
The SNMP window on the Configuration tab controls management access to<br />
the access point from management stations using SNMP.<br />
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:<br />
■ SNMP: Enables or disables SNMP management access and also enables<br />
the access point to send SNMP traps (notifications). SNMP management<br />
is enabled by default.<br />
■ Location: A text string that describes the system location.<br />
(Maximum length: 20 characters)<br />
■ Contact: A text string that describes the system contact.<br />
(Maximum length: 255 characters)<br />
■ Community Name (Read/Write): Defines the SNMP community access<br />
string that has read/write access. Authorized management stations are<br />
able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects. (Maximum length: 23<br />
characters, case sensitive)<br />
■ Community Name (Read Only): Defines the SNMP community access<br />
string that has read-only access. Authorized management stations are only<br />
able to retrieve MIB objects. (Maximum length: 23 characters, case sensitive)<br />
■ Trap Destination IP Address: Specifies the recipient of SNMP notifications.<br />
Enter the IP address or the host name (from 1 to 20 characters).<br />
