User's Manual Part 2

User’s Guide Chapter 7 – Reference Manual
SNMP Users Table:
SNMP Users table is only used for SNMP v3.
SNMP Users – Users are used in SNMP version 3. They have the same access rights as
communities, but instead of a single community name there are user name and password. Strong
encryption is supported in SNMPv3.
User Name – enter user name for read-only (RO) or read-write (RW) SNMP access [1-32 all ASCII
printable characters, no spaces].
Password – enter password for read-only (RO) or read-write (RW) SNMP access [8-32 all ASCII
characters, no spaces].
SNMP Proxies Table:
SNMP Proxies – SNMP proxy configuration specifies that any incoming SNMP requests can be send
to another host. SNMP proxy can be configured in such a way that can proxy only specified SNMP
request under specific OID (OID local). Click the new button to create SNMP proxy:
Figure 148 – Add SNMP Proxies
Context Name – enter the context name for SNMP proxy rule between client and AC. Context name
only works with SNMP v3. If a "context name" is specified, it assigns the proxy rule to a particular
context name within the local agent [1-32 all ASCII printable characters, no spaces]:
P-560
Administrator
LAN
WAN
SNMP v1/v2c
SNMP v3
with Context Name
Figure 149 – SNMP and Content Name
This is the proper way to query multiple SNMP agents through a single proxy. Assign each remote
agent to a different context name. Then you can use "snmpwalk -n contextname1" to walk one
remote proxied agent and "snmpwalk -n contextname2" to walk another, assuming you are using
SNMPv3 to talk to the proxy (snmpv1 and snmpv2c context mappings aren’t currently supported but
might be in the future) (see the Figure 149 – SNMP and Content Name).
Type – select SNMP version for SNMP proxy rule between AP and AC [v1/v2c].
Community Name – enter community name for communicating with the host (see Figure 149 –
SNMP and Content Name, the host is AP in this case) [1-32 all ASCII printable characters, no
spaces].
