Description

 

 

 

SNMP Enabled/Disabled

 

You can choose whether or not you want to enable SNMP on your

 

 

 

 

network. By default SNMP is Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

To enable SNMP, click Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

To disable SNMP, click Disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

You must click Update to save your settings.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If you do not enable SNMP, all remaining fields on the SNMP

 

 

 

 

page will be disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read-only community name

 

Enter a read-only community name.

 

 

 

for permitted GETs

 

The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts as a simple

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

authentication mechanism to restrict the machines on the network

 

 

 

 

that can request data to the SNMP agent. The name functions as a

 

 

 

 

password and the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender

 

 

 

 

knows the password.

 

 

 

 

 

The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Port number the SNMP

 

By default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from port 161.

 

 

 

agent will listen to

 

However, you can configure this so the agent listens to requests on

 

 

 

 

another port.

 

 

 

 

 

Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP agents to listen

 

 

 

 

to requests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allow SNMP SET Requests

 

You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP SET requests.

 

 

 

 

 

Enabling SET requests means that machines on the network can

 

 

 

 

 

execute SET requests to the configured agent on the AP.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: SET requests are restricted to the AT-TQ2403 System MIB.

 

 

 

 

To enable SNMP SET requests, click Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

To disable SNMP SET requests, click Disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read-write community name

 

If you have enabled SNMP SET requests you can set a read-write

 

 

 

for permitted SETs

 

community name.

 

 

 

 

 

Setting a community name is similar to setting a password. Only

 

 

 

 

 

requests from the machines that identify themselves with this

 

 

 

 

 

community name will be accepted.

 

 

 

 

 

The community name can be in any alphanumeric format.
