Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Configuration
This page allows the enabling and disabling of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
functions. Use SNMP to manage networked devices and execute the following functions:
• GET: Obtain information from the device, such as a configuration setting or parameter.
• SET: Change a configuration setting on the device.
• TRAP: The device proactively informs the management station of a change of state, usually used
for critical alarms or warnings. See
SNMP Traps.
Figure 25 SNMP Configuration page
One feature of the SNMP implementation is that system configuration changes do not take effect using
the SET command. Instead, groups of configuration settings can be preconfigured for global change,
and a single ‘Save’ (Commit) command implements all changes.
When some parameters are changed, a link may drop and/or management control lost. MIB files allow
many parameters to be set at once, allowing only a temporarily dropped link or management control
issue. The opposite end radio can be quickly reconfigured, with little downtime for the link and
management control. The save (Commit) command is similar to the Update button.
Dropped links or management control issues do not occur with every parameter change. Many
configuration changes do not impact traffic or management access.
EX-i Series GigE (FDD) radios utilize SNMPv3, a high security version of SNMP, to ensure secure
access to and storing of management data. The SNMPv3 security string matches the admin and user
passwords. Passwords must be eight characters or longer.
The SNMP MIBs are organized similar to the GUI. Become familiar with the GUI before using the
SNMP function.
SNMP v1/v2c/v3 Support Options
Enable the SNMPv1/v2c options to allow entering read and read/write community strings.
Note: Users are encouraged to avoid enabling SNMPv1/V2c support due to known security
loopholes in these protocols.
