Passwords
You can configure the following passwords:
• SNMP Read Community Password: The password for read access to the AP using SNMP. Enter a password in both the Password field
and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password is "public".
• SNMP Read/Write Community Password: The password for read and write access to the AP using SNMP. Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password is "public".
• SNMPv3 Authentication Password: The password used when sending authenticated SNMPv3 messages. Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters, but a length of at least at least 8 characters
is recommended. The default password is "public". Secure Management (Services tab) must be enabled to configure SNMPv3.
The default SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES privacy protocol.
• SNMPv3 Privacy Password: The password used when sending encrypted SNMPv3 data. Enter a password in both the Password field
and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters, but a length of at least at least 8 characters is
recommended. The default password is "public". Secure Management (Services tab) must be enabled to configure SNMPv3.
• Telnet (CLI) Password: The password for the CLI interface (via serial or Telnet). Enter a password in both the Password field and the
Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password is "public".
• HTTP (Web) Password: The password for the Web browser HTTP interface. Enter a password in both the Password field and the
Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password is "public".
NOTE
For security purposes Proxim recommends changing ALL PASSWORDS from the default "public" immediately, to restrict access to
your network devices to authorized personnel. If you lose or forget your password settings, you can always perform the
Factory Default Procedure.
IP Access Table
The Management IP Access table limits in-band management access to the IP addresses or range of IP addresses specified in the table. This
feature applies to all management services (SNMP, HTTP, and CLI) except for CLI management over the serial port. To configure this table,
click Add and set the following parameters:
• IP Address: Enter the IP Address for the management station.
• IP Mask: Enter a mask that will act as a filter to limit access to a range of IP Addresses based on the IP Address you already entered.
– The IP mask 255.255.255.255 would authorize the single station defined by the IP Address to configure the Access Point. The AP
would ignore commands from any other IP address. In contrast, the IP mask 255.255.255.0 would allow any device that shares the
first three octets of the IP address to configure the AP. For example, if you enter an IP address of 10.20.30.1 with a 255.255.255.0
subnet mask, any IP address between 10.20.30.1 and 10.20.30.254 will have access to the AP's management interfaces.
• Comment: Enter an optional comment, such as the station name.
To edit or delete an entry, click Edit. Edit the information, or select Enable, Disable, or Delete from the Status pull-down menu.
