TIP: For enhanced security, consider using misspelled words, a combi-
nation of letters and numbers, and a combination of upper and
lower case letters. Also, the more characters used (up to eight), the
more secure the password will be. These strategies help protect
against sophisticated hackers who may use a database of common
words (for example, dictionary attacks) to determine a password.

SNMP Mode
—This specifies the mode of operation of the radio’s
SNMP Agent. If the mode is disabled, the Agent does not
respond to any SNMP traffic. If the mode is v1_only, v2_only,
or v3_only, the Agent responds only to that version of SNMP
traffic. If the mode is v1-v2, or v1-v2-v3, the Agent responds to
the specified version of SNMP traffic.

2.7.2 Wireless Security

of data across the wireless link. The radios can be authenticated locally
via a list of authorized radios, or remotely via a centralized RADIUS
server. RADIUS is a centralized authentication mechanism based on
standards.
