SNMP
You can use a network management application such as HP’s
OpenView to manage the access point via the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) from a network management
station. To implement SNMP management, the access point must
have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either manually
or dynamically. Once an IP address has been configured,
appropriate SNMP communities and trap receivers should be
configured.
Community names are used to control management access to
SNMP stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive
trap messages from the access point. To communicate with the
access point, a management station must first submit a valid
community name for authentication. You therefore need to assign
community names to specified users or user groups and set the
access level.
SNMP
– Enables or disables SNMP management access and
also enables the access point to send SNMP traps (notifications).
SNMP management is enabled by default.
