Chapter 16 Configuring SNMP Configuring SNMP Default SNMP Configuration Table 16-2 shows the default SNMP configuration. Table 16-2 Default SNMP Configuration Feature SNMP agent SNMP community strings SNMP trap receiver SNMP traps Default Setting Disabled None configured None configured None enabled Enabling the SNMP Agent No specific IOS command exists to enable SNMP. The first snmp-server global configuration command that you enter enables SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. You can also enable SNMP on the SNMP Properties page on the web-browser interface. When you enable SNMP on the web-browser interface, the access point automatically creates a community string called public with read-only access to the IEEE802dot11 MIB. Configuring Community Strings You use the SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager and the agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the bridge. Optionally, you can specify one or more of these characteristics associated with the string: • An access list of IP addresses of the SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string to gain access to the agent • A MIB view, which defines the subset of all MIB objects accessible to the given community • Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community Note In the current IOS MIB agent implementation, the default community string is for the Internet MIB object sub-tree. Because IEEE802dot11 is under another branch of the MIB object tree, you must enable either a separate community string and view on the IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and community string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree. ISO is the common parent node of IEEE (IEEE802dot11) and Internet. This MIB agent behavior is different from the MIB agent behavior on access points not running IOS software.

Chapter 16

Configuring SNMP

Default SNMP Configuration

Table 16-2

shows the default SNMP configuration.

Enabling the SNMP Agent

No specific IOS command exists to enable SNMP. The first

snmp-server

global configuration command

that you enter enables SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.

You can also enable SNMP on the SNMP Properties page on the web-browser interface. When you

enable SNMP on the web-browser interface, the access point automatically creates a community string

called

public

with read-only access to the IEEE802dot11 MIB.

Configuring Community Strings

You use the SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager and the

agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the bridge.

Optionally, you can specify one or more of these characteristics associated with the string:

•

An access list of IP addresses of the SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string

to gain access to the agent

•

A MIB view, which defines the subset of all MIB objects accessible to the given community

•

Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community

Note

In the current IOS MIB agent implementation, the default community string is for the Internet MIB

object sub-tree. Because IEEE802dot11 is under another branch of the MIB object tree, you must enable

either a separate community string and view on the IEEE802dot11 MIB or a common view and

community string on the ISO object in the MIB object tree. ISO is the common parent node of IEEE

(IEEE802dot11) and Internet. This MIB agent behavior is different from the MIB agent behavior on

access points not running IOS software.
