Table 43
AP SNMP attributes
Attribute
Meaning
SNMP Community String
1
Specify a control string that can allow an Network Management Station
(NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The
default string is
Canopy
.
SNMP Community String
1 Permissions
You can designate the
SNMP Community String 1
to be the password for
Prizm, for example, to have read/write access to the module via SNMP, or for
all SNMP access to the module to be read only.
SNMP Community String
2 (Read Only)
Specify an additional control string that can allow an Network Management
Station (NMS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this
string. The default string is
Canopyro
. This password will never authenticate a
user or an NMS to read/write access.
The
Community String
value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor.
Additional security derives from the configuration of the
Accessing Subnet
,
Trap Address
, and
Permission
parameters.
Accessing IP / Subnet Mask
1 to 10
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this AP. The
NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must
enter both
The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx
For example
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits
in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).
192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range
192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP,
presuming that the device supplies the correct
Community String
value.
The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information
on CIDR, execute an Internet search on ―Classless Interdomain Routing.‖
You are allowed to specify as many as 10 different accessing IP address,
subnet mask combinations.
SNMP Trap Server DNS
Usage
The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of
the trap server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is
automatically appended to that name. The default SNMP trap server
addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS
domain name disabled.
