System Configuration

SNMP
You can use a network management application such as SMC’s
EliteView (EliteView v6.11, available in Q4 of 2003) to manage
the SMC2555W-AG via the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) from a network management station. To
implement SNMP management, the SMC2555W-AG 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.
