LAPAC1750PRO Access Point Software User Manual
Groups
SNMP groups allow you to combine users into groups of different authorization
and access privileges Each group is associated with one of three security levels:
•
noAuthNoPriv
•
authNoPriv
• authPriv
Read and/or write access to management objects (MIBs) for each group is
controlled by associating a MIB view to a group for read and write access,
separately
By default, the access point has two groups:
• RO — A read-only group with no authentication and no data encryption
No security is provided by this group By default, users of this group will
have read access to the default all MIB view, which can be modified by the
user
• RW — A read/write group using authentication and data encryption Users
in this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/
password for encryption Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be
defined By default, users of this group will have read and write access to
default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user
NOTE:
The default groups RO and RW cannot be deleted
NOTE:
The Access Point supports a maximum of 8 groups
To define additional groups, navigate to the Configuration > SNMP > Groups
page and configure the settings that Table 52 describes
Section 3: Configuring the Access Point

Field Description
Name Specify a name to use to identify the group The default
group names are RW and RO
Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric
characters
Security Level Select one of the following security levels for the group:
• noAuthentication-noPrivacy — No authentication and
no data encryption (no security)
• Authentication-noPrivacy — Authentication, but no
data encryption With this security level, users send
SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password
for authentication, but not a DES key/password for
encryption
•
Authentication-Privacy — Authentication and data
encryption With this security level, users send an
MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/
password for encryption
For groups that require authentication, encryption, or
both, you must define the MD5 and DES key/passwords on
the SNMP Users page
