SNMP
Use the SNMP page to display and enter a community string for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). To communicate with the access point, the SNMP agent must first be enabled and the Network Management Station must submit a valid community string for authentication.
You can set up to four trap destinations, each configurable with the IP address and community string of the trap manager. Additionally, you can enable trap notification on a per-user basis. An SNMP filter can be defined on a subtree of the MIB, and then the filter can be applied to selected SNMP users (also called an SNMP target). The SNMP target includes the trap notification IP address, port number, SNMP user name, and the filter to be applied.
Select Enable next to SNMP and enter data into the fields as described below. When you are finished, click Apply.
