LAPAC1750PRO Access Point Software User Manual
NMS IPv4 Specify the IPv4 DNS hostname or subnet of the
Address/Name
machines that can execute get and set requests to the
managed devices The valid range is 1-256 characters
As with community names, this provides a level of
security on SNMP settings The SNMP agent will only
accept requests from the hostname or subnet specified
here
To specify a subnet, enter one or more subnetwork
address ranges in the form address/mask_length
where address is an IP address and mask_length is the
number of mask bits Both address/mask and address/
mask_length formats are supported Individual hosts
can be provided for this, i e IP address or Hostname
For example, if you enter a range of 192 168 1 0/24 this
specifies a subnetwork with address 192 168 1 0 and a
subnet mask of 255 255 255 0
The address range is used to specify the subnet of the
designated NMS Only machines with IP addresses
in this range are permitted to execute get and set
requests on the managed device Given the example
above, the machines with addresses from 192 168 1 1
through 192 168 1 254 can execute SNMP commands
on the device (The address identified by suffix 0 in a
subnetwork range is always reserved for the subnet
address, and the address identified by 255 in the range
is always reserved for the broadcast address )
As another example, if you enter a range of 10 10 1 128/25
machines with IP addresses from 10 10 1 129 through
10 10 1 254 can execute SNMP requests on managed
devices In this example, 10 10 1 128 is the network
address and 10 10 1 255 is the broadcast address 126
addresses would be designated
NMS IPv6 Specify the IPv6 DNS hostname or subnet of the
Address/Name
machines that can execute get and set requests to the
managed devices
Section 3: Configuring the Access Point
Trap Community Enter the global community string associated with
SNMP traps The valid range is 1-256 characters
Traps sent from the device will provide this string as a
community name
The community name can be in any alphanumeric
format Special characters are not permitted
Host Type Specify whether the enabled host is an IPv4 host or an
IPv6 host
Hostname or Enter the DNS hostname of the computer to which
IP address
you want to send SNMP traps The valid range is 1-256
characters
An example of a DNS hostname is: snmptraps foo com
Since SNMP traps are sent randomly from the SNMP
agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps
should be sent You can add up to a maximum of three
DNS hostnames Ensure you select the Enabled check
box beside the appropriate hostname
NOTE:
After you configure the SNMP settings, you must click Save to apply the
changes Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart
system processes If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose
connectivity We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN
traffic is low
NOTE:
Hostnames are composed of series of labels concatenated with dots, as
are all domain names Each label must be between 1 and 63 characters
long, and the entire hostname (including the delimiting dots) has a
maximum of 253 characters
