Local Config of SNMP Management The Local Config component, introduced in AWMS 7.2, is used for local configuration of Dell PowerConnect W controllers. Locally configured settings are not pushed to local controllers by master controllers. SNMP trap settings for controllers are managed locally. Trap settings for the AP are managed by group or global configuration in Profiles > AP > SNMP. Refer to "Profiles > AP > SNMP" on page 71 if you want to manage AP settings.
