Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point
You can use the SNMP Users page to define users, associate a security level to
each user, and configure security keys per-user.
Each user is mapped to an SNMPv3 group, either from the predefined or user-
defined groups, and, optionally, is configured for authentication and encryption.
For authentication, only the MD5 type is supported. For encryption, only the DES
type is supported. There are no default SNMPv3 users on the WAP device, and
you can add up to eight users.
To add SNMP users:
Select SNMP > Users in the navigation pane.
Click Add to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Users table.
Check the box in the new row and click Edit.
Configure the parameters:
• User Name—A name that identifies the SNMPv3 user. User names can
contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
• Group—The group that the user is mapped to. The default groups are
RWAuth, RWPriv, and RO. You can define additional groups on the SNMP
Groups page.
• Authentication Type—The type of authentication to use on SNMPv3
requests from the user, which can be one of these options:
- MD5—Require MD5 authentication on SNMP requests from the user.
- None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no authentication.
• Authentication Pass Phrase—(If you specify MD5 as the Authentication
Type) A pass phrase to enable the SNMP agent to authenticate requests
sent by the user. The pass phrase must be between 8 and 32 characters in
length.
• Encryption Type—The type of privacy to use on SNMP requests from the
user, which can be one of these options:
- DES—Use DES encryption on SNMPv3 requests from the user.
- None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no privacy.
