Modifying the Access Point SNMP Settings
For the AP Manager or any Network Management Station to remotely manage the Access
Point, the Access Point must have:
• A valid IP address and subnet mask.
• An SNMP read/write community name (default is public).
The following sections describe how to modify these parameters.
Changing the IP Address
To change or delete the Access Point’s current IP address from the AP Manager, the Access
Point must be currently managed by the AP Manager. If you do not know the Access Point
IP address, use the Access Point console port to view or change the address.
1. Select the Access Point from the Managed List field.
2. Click the Network Parameters button.
3. Set the Address State to Volatile, then click OK.
4. In the main AP Manager window, click the Reset button. Then click Reset with
Current Settings. This sets the IP address to 0.0.0.0. The Access Point is no longer
manageable by the AP Manager.
5. Use the Setup/Add New Access Point button to give the Access Point a new IP
address and add it back to the list of managed Access Points. You can use the
procedures to configure Access Points listed earlier in this chapter.
To modify only the subnet mask or default gateway using the AP Manager, select the
Access Point from the Managed List field and click the Network Parameters button.
To change the Access Point’s IP parameters using the console port:
1. Choose Set IP Address from the RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu.
2. Enter the new IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway. You do not need to reset
the Access Point.
