4.3 SNMP
You can use a network management application such as HP’s OpenView to
manage the AP via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from a
network management station. To implement SNMP management, the AP must
have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either manually or dynamically.
Once an IP address has been configured, appropriate SNMP communities and
trap receivers should be configured.
Community names are used to control management access to SNMP stations, as
well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the AP. To
communicate with the AP, a management station must first submit a valid
community name for authentication. You therefore need to assign community
names to specified users or user groups and set the access level.
SNMP – Enables or disables SNMP management access and also enables the AP to
send SNMP traps (notifications). (Default: Disable)
