Setting Up IOS Access Points

Step 4 To configure SNMP, enter the following commands in the sequence shown. The first command includes the ISO view. The read-only community string, is required for discovery and the fault and report features on the WLSE. The read/write community string is required for AP firmware management, AP configuration, and all radio-management functions (client walkabout, radio scanning, and so on).

a.Include the ISO view:

snmp-server view iso iso included

a.Configure the read-only community:

snmp-server community ro_ommunity_string view iso ro

b.Configure the read/write community:

snmp-server community rw_community_string view iso rw

Note The community strings must also be entered on the WLSE. See Enter SNMP Community Strings for All Managed Devices, page 6-2.

Caution IOS access points that do not have an ISO view will be placed in the Misconfigured Devices system group after discovery and a fault will be generated. The fault refers to a “dot 11 MIB” problem.

Step 5 (Optional) It is useful to set the system name, contact, and location SNMP variables to make the device more manageable. Use the following commands:

configuration terminal

hostname access_point

snmp-server location AP_location

snmp-server contact AP_contact

where access_point is the system name, AP_location is its location, and AP_contact is the name of the contact person.

Step 6 You can use either Telnet or SSH to push configuration templates to IOS access points. To use templates to configure IOS access points, you must configure either Telnet or SSH or both, as follows.
