SNMP Protocol Version
The AP is compatible with SNMP V1 and SNMP V2C and adopts the community authentication
mechanism. Community name is used to define the relationship between an SNMP agent and an SNMP
manager. If the community name contained in an SNMP packet is rejected by a device, the packet is
discarded. A community name functions as a password to control SNMP agent access attempts of SNMP
managers.
SNMP V2C is compatible with SNMP V1 and provides more functions than SNMP V1. Compared with
SNMP V1, SNMP V2C supports more operations (GetBulk and InformRequest) and data types (such as
Counter64), and provides more error codes for better distinguishing errors.

MIB Introduction
An MIB adopts a tree structure. The nodes of the tree indicate managed objects. A path consisting of
digits and starting from the root can be used to uniquely identify a node. This path is calling an object
identifier (OID).The following figure shows the structure of an MIB. In the figure, the OID of A is
1.3.6.1.2.1.1, whereas the OID of B is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.
