Management Access Deployment Considerations
Before defining an access control configuration as part of a Management Access policy, refer to the
following deployment guidelines to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:
Unused management protocols should be disabled to reduce a potential attack.
●
Use management interfaces providing encryption and authentication. Management services like
●
HTTPS, SSH and SNMPv3 should be used when possible, as they provide both data privacy and
authentication.
By default, SNMPv2 community strings on most devices are set to public for the read-only
●
community string and private for the read-write community string. Legacy devices may use other
community strings by default.

Set the IP address of the external server resource receiving SNMP traps
on behalf of the access point.
