Simple Network Management Protocol
Configuring SNMP

Cisco 3200 Series Wireless MIC Software Configuration Guide
Note
In the current Cisco IOS MIB agent implementation, the default community string is for the Internet
MIB object sub-tree. Because IEEE802dot11 is under another branch of the MIB object tree, you must
enable either a separate community string and view on the IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and
community string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree. ISO is the common parent node of IEEE
(IEEE802dot11) and Internet. This MIB agent behavior is different from the MIB agent behavior on
access points not running IOS software.
To configure a community string on the WMIC
, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
snmp-server community

[

rw
]
Configures the community string.
•
For
string
, specify a string that acts like a password and
permits access to the SNMP protocol. You can configure one
or more community strings of any length.
•
(Optional) For
access-list-number
, enter an IP standard access
list numbered from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999.
•
(Optional) For
view
mib-view
, specify a MIB view to which
this community has access, such as
ieee802dot11
. See the
“Using the snmp-server view Command” section on page 9
for
instructions on using the
snmp-server view
command to
access Standard IEEE 802.11 MIB objects through IEEE view.
•
(Optional) Specify either read-only (
ro
) if you want
authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects, or
specify read/write (
rw
) if you want authorized management
stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects. By default, the
community string permits read-only access to all objects.
Note
To access the IEEE 802dot11 MIB, you must enable either
a separate community string and view on the
IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and community
string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree.
