3 Configure the SNMP v3 User Definitions field (if SNMP v3 is used) to add and configure SNMP v3
user definitions.
SNMP v3 user definitions allow read-only or read/write access to management information as
appropriate.
Access Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R)
access or read/write (RW) access for the community.
Read-only access allows a remote device to retrieve
access point information, while read/write access allows a
remote device to modify access point settings.
Add Click Add to create a new entry for an SNMP v3 user.
Delete Select Delete to remove an entry for an SNMP v3 user.
Username Specify a username by typing an alphanumeric string of up
to 31 characters.
Security Level Use the Security Level area to specify a security level of
noAuth (no authorization) , AuthNoPriv (authorization
without privacy) , or AuthPriv (authorization with privacy) .
The NoAuth setting specifies no login authorization or
encryption for the user.
The AuthNoPriv setting requires login authorization, but no
encryption.
The AuthPriv setting requires login authorization and uses
the Data Encryption Standard (DES) protocol.
OID Use the OID (Object Identifier) area to specify a setting of
All or enter a Custom OID. Select All to assign the user
access to all OIDs in the MIB. The OID field uses numbers
expressed in dot notation.
Passwords Select Passwords to display the Password Settings screen
for specifying authentication and password settings for an
SNMP v3 user. The maximum password length is 11
characters. Use the
Authentication Algorithm drop-down
menu to specify MD5 or SHA1 as the authentication
algorithm. Use the Privacy Algorithm drop-down menu to
define an algorithm of
DES or AES-128bit .
When entering the same username on the SNMP Traps
and SNMP Access screens, the password entered on the
SNMP Traps page overwrites the password entered on the
SNMP Access page. To avoid this problem, enter the
same password on both pages.
Access Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R)
access or read/write (RW) access for a user. Read-only
access permits a user to retrieve AP35xx information,
while read/write access allows a user to modify
AP35xxsettings.
