4.2.6.3Network Management Parameters

The Network Management Parameters menu enables protecting the Unit from unauthorized access by defining a set of discrete IP addresses as well as IP address ranges from which the unit can be managed using protocols such as Telnet, FTP, TFTP, SNMP, DHCP and ICMP. This excludes management messages generated in the unit, such as Traps or Ping Test frames, which are not filtered. The direction from which management access is permitted can also be configured, which means that management access may be permitted from the wireless medium only, from the wired Ethernet only, or from both.

The Network Management Menu also enables managing transmission of traps, including definition of up to 10 traps destination IP addresses and the associated community strings. In addition, the menu enables specifying the IP address of a connected AP client device to facilitate remote management of a BreezeACCESS WI2 system.

The Network Management Parameters menu includes the following options:

„Access to Network Management

„Network Management Filtering

„Set Network Management IP address

„Delete a Network Management IP Address

„Delete All Network Management IP Addresses

„Set/Change Network Management IP Address Ranges

„SNMP Traps (AU only)
