SNMP Settings

Use this screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). The device includes an onboard SNMP
agent which monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic
passing through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a
Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this
information. Access rights to the onboard agent are controlled by
community strings. To communicate with the AP/Bridge, the SNMP agent
must first be enabled, and the NMS must submit a valid community string
for authentication. The options for configuring SNMP are described
below.
SNMP Agent – You can enable or disable management access to the
SNMP Agent. You will need to use an SNMP management program to
access the onboard SNMP agent.
SNMP Manager – You can allow an SNMP manager with any IP address
to access the AP/Bridge, or you can specify an IP address for a specific
SNMP manager only.
Community String – You must configure a community string (i.e.,
password) that will be submitted by the SNMP manager to verify system
access.
Permission – You can restrict access for a specified manager to read-only,
or allow full access with read/write authorization.
