SNMP Configuring SNMP on the Access Point 5 Table 25 SNMP Settings (Continued) Field Description Community name for Enter the global community string associated with SNMP traps traps. Traps sent from the device provide this string as a community name. Hostname or IP address The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. Special characters are not permitted. Double quote (") is not a valid character. Enter the DNS hostname of the computer to which you want to send SNMP traps. An example of a DNS hostname is: snmptraps.foo.com. Since SNMP traps are sent randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps should be sent. You can add up to a maximum of three DNS hostnames. Select the Enabled check box beside the appropriate hostname. NOTE After you configure the SNMP settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the access point to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. Configuring SNMP Views A MIB view is combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access. A MIB view called all that contains all management objects supported by the system is created by default.
