•
SNMP Read/Write Password:

in both the
Password

•
SNMPv3 Authentication Password:
The password used when sending authenticated SNMPv3 messages. Enter
a password in both the
Password

Confirm
field. The default password is “public”. Password length is
recommended to be at least 8 characters. Secure Management (Services tab) must be enabled to configure
SNMPv3.
•
SNMPv3 Privacy Password:
The password used when sending encrypted SNMPv3 data. Enter a password in
both the
Password

recommended to be at least 8 characters. Secure Management (Services tab) must be enabled to configure
SNMPv3.
•
Telnet (CLI) Password:
The password for the CLI interface (by way of serial or Telnet). Enter a password in both
the

Confirm

NOTE
For security purposes HP recommends changing ALL PASSWORDS from the default “public” immediately, to
restrict access to your network devices to authorized personnel. If you lose or forget your password settings,
you can always perform the
Reset to Factory Default Procedure
IP Access Table
The Management IP Access table limits in-band management access to the IP addresses or range of IP addresses
specified in the table. This feature applies to all management options (SNMP, HTTP, and Telnet). To configure this
table, click
Add
and set the following parameters:
•
IP Address:
Enter the IP Address for the management station.
•
IP Mask:
Enter a mask that will act as a filter to limit access to a range of IP Addresses based on the IP Address
you already entered.
–
The IP mask 255.255.255.255 would authorize the single station defined by the IP Address to configure the
Access Point. The AP would ignore commands from any other IP address. In contrast, the IP mask
255.255.255.0 would allow any device that shares the first three octets of the IP address to configure the AP.
For example, if you enter an IP address of 10.20.30.1 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, any IP address
between 10.20.30.1 and 10.20.30.254 will have access to the AP’s management interfaces.
