Attribute
Meaning
Accessing IP / Subnet
Mask
1 to 10
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests
to this BHM. The NMS has an address that is among these
addresses (this subnet). You must enter both
The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in
the form /xx
For example:
16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
(the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among
all members of the subnet).
192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address
is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send
SNMP requests to the BHM, presuming that the device
supplies the correct
Community String
value.
The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For
more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on
“Classless Interdomain Routing.” You are allowed to specify as
many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask
combinations.
SNMP Trap Server
DNS Usage
The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that
the name of the trap server only needs to be specified and the
DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name.
The default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available
servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS domain name
disabled.
Trap Address
1 to 10
Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or DNS
names to which SNMP traps must be sent. Traps inform
Wireless Manager or an NMS that something has occurred.
For example, trap information is sent:
After a reboot of the module.
When an NMS attempts to access agent information but
either
Supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP
version number.
