SNMP parameters for AP
Cloud Network Manager supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 for reporting purposes only. An AP cannot
use SNMP to set values in HP system.
You can configure the following parameters for an AP:
Data pane item Description
Community Strings for SNMPV1
and SNMPV2
An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password,
and is used to authenticate messages sent between the VC and the
SNMP agent.
If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values fromthe AP, you can configure the following parameters:
Name A string representing the name of the user.
Authentication Protocol An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be
authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol used.
Specify one of the following values:
l MD5— HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
l SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
Authentication protocol
password
If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the
(private) authentication key is used with the authentication protocol.
This is a string password for MD5 or SHA depending on the choice
above.
Privacy protocol An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be
protected from disclosure, and if yes, the type of privacy protocol
which is used. This takes the value DES (CBC-DES Symmetric
Encryption).
Privacy protocol password If messages sent on behalf of this user can be encrypted/decrypted
with DES, the (private) privacy key is used with the privacy protocol.
