10 - 10 WiNG 5.7.1 Access Point System Reference Guide
10.4 Setting the SNMP Configuration
The access point can use
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) to interact with wireless devices. SNMP is an
application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information. SNMP enabled devices listen on port 162
(by default) for SNMP packets from their management server. SNMP uses read-only and read-write community strings as an
authentication mechanism to monitor and configure supported devices. The read-only community string is used to gather
statistical data and configuration parameters from a supported wireless device. The read-write community string is used by a
management server to
set
device parameters. SNMP is generally used to monitor a system’s performance and other
parameters.
To define SNMP management values:
1. Select
Configuration
>
Management
.
2. Select
SNMP
from the list of Management Policy options in the upper, left-hand, side of the UI.
