SNMP
You can use a network management application such as SMC’s
EliteView to manage the SMC2555W-AG via the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) from a network management
station. To implement SNMP management, the SMC2555W-AG
must have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either
manually or dynamically. Once an IP address has been
configured, appropriate SNMP communities and trap receivers
should be configured.
Community names are used to control management access to
SNMP stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive
trap messages from the access point. To communicate with the
access point, a management station must first submit a valid
community name for authentication. You therefore need to assign
community names to specified users or user groups and set the
access level.
