As another example, if you enter a range of 10.10.1.128/25, machines with IP addresses
from 10.10.1.129 through 10.10.1.254 can execute SNMP requests on managed
devices. In this example, 10.10.1.128 is the network address and 10.10.1.255 is the
broadcast address. A total of 126 addresses would be designated.
•
NMS IPv6 Address/Name—The IPv6 address, DNS hostname, or subnet of the
machines that can execute, get, and set requests to the managed devices. The IPv6
address should be in a form similar to xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
(2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91).
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63 alphanumeric
characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is separated by a period (.). The
entire series of labels and periods can be up to 253 characters long.
STEP 5
Configure the SNMPv2 trap settings:
•
Trap Community—A global community string associated with SNMP traps. Traps sent
from the device provide this string as a community name. The valid range is from 1 to
60 alphanumeric and special characters.
•
Trap Destination Table—A list of up to three IP addresses or hostnames to receive
SNMP traps. Check the box and choose a Host IP Address Type (IPv4 or IPv6) before
adding the Hostname/IP Address.
An example of a DNS hostname is snmptraps.foo.com. Because SNMP traps are sent
randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps
should be sent. You can have a maximum of three DNS hostnames. Ensure that you
select the Enabled check box and select the appropriate Host IP Address Type.
Also see the note about hostnames in the preceding step.
STEP 6
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
NOTE
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When
this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change WAP
device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless clients.
