1.2.15 Programmable SNMP v3 Trap Support
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management information
between network devices. SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) to manage the device
configuration and monitor Internet devices in remote locations. MIB information accessed via SNMP
is defined by a set of managed objects called Object Identifiers (OIDs). An OID is used to uniquely
identify each object variable of a MIB.
SNMP allows a network administrator to configure the access point, manage network performance,
find and solve network problems, and plan network growth. The access point supports SNMP
management functions for gathering information from its network components. The MIB files are
available at https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN. In the given portal, the user
should serach for “AP7131N-GR MIBS 4.0.4.0”. For more information refer Appendix C, Customer
Support
Few acronyms used in the MIB files:
The access point’s SNMP agent functions as a command responder and is a multilingual agent
responding to SNMP v3 managers (command generators). For detailed information on configuring
SNMP traps, see Configuring SNMP Settings on page 4-27.
