Field Description
SNMP Enabled/Disabled You can choose whether or not you want to enable SNMP on your
network. By default SNMP is Enabled.
To enable SNMP, click Enabled.
To disable SNMP, click Disabled.
You must click Update to save your settings.
Note: If you do not enable SNMP, all remaining fields on the SNMP
page will be disabled.
Read-only community name
for permitted GETs
Enter a read-only community name.
The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts as a simple
authentication mechanism to restrict the machines on the network
that can request data to the SNMP agent. The name functions as a
password and the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender
knows the password.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
Port number the SNMP
agent will listen to
By default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from port 161.
However, you can configure this so the agent listens to requests on
another port.
Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP agents to listen
to requests.
Allow SNMP SET Requests You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP SET requests.
Enabling SET requests means that machines on the network can
execute SET requests to the configured agent on the AP.
Note: SET requests are restricted to the AT-TQ2403 System MIB.
To enable SNMP SET requests, click Enabled.
To disable SNMP SET requests, click Disabled.
Read-write community name
for permitted SETs
If you have enabled SNMP SET requests you can set a read-write
community name.
Setting a community name is similar to setting a password. Only
requests from the machines that identify themselves with this
community name will be accepted.
The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
