Configuring SNMP on the Access Point

NOTE
After you configure the SNMP settings, you must click
Apply
to apply the changes
and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the access point to
stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily
lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when
WLAN traffic is low.
Configuring SNMP Views
A MIB view is combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees
where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. You
can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.
A MIB view called
all
that contains all management objects supported by the
system is created by default.
Community name for
traps
Enter the global community string associated with SNMP
traps.
Traps sent from the device provide this string as a
community name.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
Special characters are not permitted. Double quote (") is
not a valid character.
Hostname or IP
address
Enter the DNS hostname of the computer to which you
want to send SNMP traps. An example of a DNS hostname
is:
snmptraps.foo.com.
Since SNMP traps are sent
randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify
where exactly the traps should be sent. You can add up to
a maximum of three DNS hostnames.
Select the
Enabled
check box beside the appropriate
hostname.
