6 In the Publish AP as interface of controller drop-down list, click to enable or disable publishing the
wireless AP and their interfaces as interfaces of the controller. By default this option is enabled.
When this option is enabled, all wireless APs and their interfaces are published as interfaces of the
controller when you retrieve topology statistics and configuration information using SNMP.
Topology statistics and configuration information on wireless APs are retrievable using both
proprietary and standard MIBs. The Publish AP as interface of controller option only affects
information retrieved through standard MIBs, i.e. IF-MIB, RFC1213. All information that is retrieved
through proprietary MIBs is not affected. If the Publish AP as interface of controller option is
disabled, the wireless APs' interfaces are not considered interfaces of the controller.
For example, if the Publish AP as interface of controller option is disabled, querying the ifTable
would return information on the controller physical interfaces, plus all VNSs that are configured on
that controller. If enabled, querying the same table would return the above information, in addition
to information on each wireless APs' interfaces.
7 In the SNMP v1/v2c section, type the following:
•
Read Community Name – Specifies the community name password for users with read
privileges.
•
Read/Write Community Name – Specifies the community name password for users with read
and write privileges.
•
Manager A – Specifies the IP address of the server on the network where the SNMP traps are
monitored.
•
Manager B – Specifies the IP address of a second server on the network where the SNMP traps
are monitored.
Notice
For security purposes, it is recommended that you immediately change the Read Community
Name (public) and the Read/Write Community Name (private) passwords to names that are less
obvious and more secure.
