Task 5: Configuring security PMP 450i and PTP 450i Configuration and User
Guide
As a common practice, AP administrator usernames and passwords must be secured
with strong, non-default passwords.
Securing SNMP Access
The SNMPv3 provides a more secure method to perform SNMP operations. This
standard provides services for authentication, data integrity and message
encryption over SNMP.
Procedure 9 Configuring SNMPv3
1
Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials
2
On the AP/SM GUI, navigate to Configuration => Security Page
3
Under GUI heading “Security Mode”, set SNMP to SNMPv3 Only
4
Click the Save Changes button
5
Go to Configuration => SNMP Page
6
Under GUI heading “SNMPv3 setting”, set Engine ID, SNMPv3 Security
Level, SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol, SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol,
SNMPv3 Read-Only User, SNMPv3 Read/Write User, SNMPv3 Trap
Configuration parameters:
Engine ID :
Each radio (AP or SM) has a distinct SNMP authoritative engine identified by a
unique Engine ID. While the Engine ID is configurable to the operator it is
expected that the operator follow the guidelines of the SNMPEngineID defined
in the SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB (RFC 3411). The default Engine ID is the MAC
address of the device.
SNMPv3 security level, Authentication and Privacy Protocol
The authentication allows authentication of SNMPv3 user and privacy allows for
encryption of SNMPv3 message. PMP 450i supports MD5 authentication and
CBC-DES privacy protocols.
