4.6.2 Enabling SNMP Traps

SNMP provides the ability to send traps to notify the administrator that trap conditions are met. Traps
are network packets containing data relating to network devices, or SNMP agents, that send the
traps. SNMP management applications can receive and interpret these packets, and optionally can
perform responsive actions. SNMP trap generation is programmable on a trap-by-trap basis.
Use the SNMP Traps Configuration
for reporting this information. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the
generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed SNMP
environment, generated traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and v3.
To configure SNMP traps on the access point:
Enter Start IP and End IP addresses (numerical addresses only, no
DNS names supported) to specify a range of user that can access
the access point SNMP interface. An SNMP-capable client can be
set up whereby only the administrator (for example) can use a read/
write community definition.
Use just the Starting IP Address column to specify a SNMP user.
Use both the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address columns to
specify a range of addresses for SNMP users.
To add a single IP address to the ACL, enter the same IP address in
the Start IP and End IP fields.
Leave the ACL blank to allow access to the SNMP interface from
the IP addresses of all authorized users.
Click Add to create a new ACL entry.
Click Edit to revise an existing ACL entry.
Click Delete to remove a selected ACL entry for one or more SNMP
users.
Click Ok to return to the SNMP Access screen. Click
the SNMP Access screen to save any changes made on the SNMP
Access Control screen.
Click Cancel to undo any changes made on the SNMP Access
Control screen. This reverts all settings for this screen to the last
saved configuration.
