Task 7: Setting up SNMP agent
Attribute Meaning
SNMPv3 Read/Write
User
Read-write user by default is disabled. The default values for the
Read/Write users is :
Username = Canopy
Authentication Password = authCanopy
Privacy Password = privacyCanopy
SNMPv3 Trap
Configuration
When enabling transmission of SNMPv3 traps the read-only or
read-write user credentials must be used and selected properly in
order for the SNMP manager to correctly interpret the traps. By
default transmission of SNMPv3 traps is disabled and all traps
sent from the radios are in SNMPv2c format.
Accessing IP / Subnet
Mask
1 to 10
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to
this SM. Wireless Manager or the NMS has an address that is
among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both
The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the
form /xx
For example
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
(the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all
members of the subnet).
192.168.102.0 specifies any device whose IP address is in the
range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP
requests to the SM, presuming that the device supplies the
correct Community String value.
The default treatment is to allow all networks access (set to 0).
For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on
“Classless Interdomain Routing.” You are allowed to specify as
many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask
combinations.
RECOMMENDATION:
The subscriber can access the SM by changing
the subscriber device to the accessing subnet.
This hazard exists because the Community
String and Accessing Subnet are both visible
parameters. To avoid this hazard, configure the
SM to filter (block) SNMP requests.
