•Forward Traps – Specifies the security level of the traps to be forwarded.
From the drop-down list, click Informational, Minor, Major, or Critical.
• Manager A – Specifies the IP address of the specific machine on the
network where the SNMP traps are monitored.
• Manager B – Specifies the IP address of a second machine on the
network where the SNMP traps are monitored, if Manager A is not
available.
Note: For security purposes, it is recommended that you immediately
change the Read Community Name (public) and the Read/Write
Community Name (private) to names that are less obvious and more
secure.
4. In the Publish AP as interface of controller drop-down list, click whether to
enable or disable publishing the Wireless AP and their interfaces as
interfaces of the HiPath Wireless Controller. By default this option is enabled.
When this option is enabled, all Wireless APs and their interfaces are
published as interfaces of the HiPath Wireless Controller when you retrieve
topology statistics and configuration information using the SNMP protocol.
Topology statistics and configuration information on Wireless APs are
retrievable using both proprietary and standard MIB. The Publish AP as
interface of controller option only affects information retrieved through
standard MIB, i.e. IF-MIB, RFC1213. All information that is retrieved through
proprietary MIB is not affected. If the Publish AP as interface of controller
option is disabled, the Wireless APs' interfaces are not considered interfaces
of the HiPath Wireless Controller.
For example, if the Publish AP as interface of controller option is disabled,
querying the ifTable would return information on the HiPath Wireless
Controller physical interfaces, plus all VNSs that are configured on that
controller. If enabled, querying the same table would return the above
information, in addition to information on each Wireless APs’ interfaces.
