Configuring SNMP

The SNMP Agent offers the network administrator performance management and

fault management features, with the collection of statistics as well as notification of

unusual events via traps.

This information applies to all controller models and the following APs:

 AP400

 AP300 / AP300i

 AP1000

 AP150 / OAP180

The Meru Wireless LAN System SNMP Agent can interoperate with 3

party Network

Management Systems (NMS) such as HP OpenView, and present alarm and trap infor-

mation to configured management stations.

MERU Software Director supports versions of SNMP protocols. On MERU software, all

versions (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3) of the Internet-Standard Management

Framework share the same basic structure and components. Furthermore, all

versions of the specifications of the Internet-Standard Management Framework

follow the same architecture.

Note that Meru System Director doesn’t support write operation through SNMP. You

need to provision any required configuration through the CLI or Web UI.
