SNMP for Access Points
Access points also support SNMP. The administrator can configure all or some of the APs to
access data using SNMP as well as receive traps from the APs. The APs can be acting as Air
Monitors (AMs) when they are used to access information about the wireless network using
SNMP. The SNMP configuration for the APs can be done at a global level (thereby being
applicable for all the APs in the network), or for a particular set of APs by using the AP location
codes.
To configure SNMP parameters for access points in the network at a global level:
Privacy protocol An indication of whether messages
sent on behalf of this user can be
protected from disclosure, and if so, the
type of privacy protocol being used.
This takes the value DES (CBC-DES
Symmetric Encryption Protocol).
Privacy protocol
password
If messages sent on behalf of this user
can be encrypted/decrypted, the
(private) privacy key for use with the
privacy protocol.
String password for DES.
Note: The configuration for access points is always done on the master WFS709TP only.
