Setting The Snmp Configuration - Motorola WiNG 5 System Reference Manual

10.4 Setting the SNMP Configuration

The access point can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to interact with wireless devices. SNMP is an
application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information. SNMP enabled devices listen on port
162 (by default) for SNMP packets from their management server. SNMP uses read-only and read-write community strings
as an authentication mechanism to monitor and configure supported devices. The read-only community string is used to
gather statistical data and configuration parameters from a supported wireless device. The read-write community string
is used by a management server to set device parameters. SNMP is generally used to monitor a system's performance and
other parameters.
