community strings for read-only and read/write access. SNMP version 3 (v3) further enhances
protocol features, providing much improved security. SNMP v3 encrypts transmissions and provides
authentication for users generating requests.
To configure SNMP v1/v2c community definitions and SNMP v3 user definitions for the AP-5131:
1. Select System Configuration - > SNMP Access from the AP-5131 menu tree.
SNMP v1/v2c community definitions allow read-only or read/write access to AP-5131
management information. The SNMP community includes users whose IP addresses are
specified on the SNMP Access Control screen.
A read-only community string allows a remote device to retrieve information, while a read/
write community string allows a remote device to modify settings. Symbol recommends
considering adding a community definition using a site-appropriate name and access level.
Set up a read/write definition (at a minimum) to facilitate full access by the AP-5131
administrator.
2. Configure the SNMP v1/v2 Configuration field (if SNMP v1/v2 is used) to add or delete
community definitions, name the community, specify the OID and define community access.
Add Click Add to create a new SNMP v1/v2c community definition.
