Configuring the AP for SNMP Management
To enable SNMP management for the AP, use the AP Manager or console port to
perform the following tasks:
Set the in-band interface IP address of the AP.
Set the in-band interface default gateway address.
Optionally set the SNMP read/write community name (default is “public”).
Optionally add SNMP trap addresses.
Set In-Band Interface Addresses
To perform SNMP management on the AP, you must assign it an IP address, along
with a subnet mask and default gateway. If there is a BootP/TFTP server on the
network configured with the MAC address of the AP, the AP will get an IP address
from it.
To enter the AP’s IP address, subnet mask and default gateway using the AP
Manager:
1) Click the Setup/Add New Access Point button.
2) In the popup dialog, select Yes to load a new IP address.
3) Enter the AP’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
4) Click OK to reset the AP. Allow approximately 1 minute for the AP to reset and
complete its self-test, then click OK.
To modify an existing AP’s subnet mask and default gateway using the AP
Manager:
1) Select the AP in the Managed List field.
2) Click the IP Network Parameters button.
3) Enter the subnet mask and default gateway.
