•Trap Destination Table—A list of up to three IP addresses or hostnames to receive SNMP traps. Check the box and choose a Host IP Address Type (IPv4 or IPv6) before adding the Hostname/IP Address.

An example of a DNS hostname is snmptraps.foo.com. Because SNMP traps are sent randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps should be sent. You can have a maximum of three DNS hostnames. Ensure that you select the Enabled check box and select the appropriate Host IP Address Type.

Also see the note about hostnames in the preceding step.

STEP 6 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

NOTE After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless clients.

Views

An SNMP MIB view is a family of view subtrees in the MIB hierarchy. A view subtree is identified by the pairing of an Object Identifier (OID) subtree value with a bit string mask value. Each MIB view is defined by two sets of view subtrees, included in or excluded from the MIB view. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.

The WAP device supports a maximum of 16 views.

These notes summarize some critical guidelines regarding SNMPv3 view configuration. Please read all the notes before proceeding.

NOTE A MIB view called all is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by the system.

NOTE By default, view-all and view-none SNMPv3 views are created on the WAP device. These views cannot be deleted or modified.

To add and configure an SNMP view:

STEP 1 Select SNMP > Views in the navigation pane.

STEP 2 Click Add to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Views table.

WAP121, WAP321 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been recognized for its innovation in networking technologies, and the Cisco WAP321 and WAP121 access points are prime examples of its commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance wireless networking solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. These devices offer a robust set of features designed to meet the requirements of modern wireless networking while ensuring ease of use and deployment.

The Cisco WAP321 is a dual-band access point that operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing flexibility and improved performance in crowded environments. With support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, it boasts a combined data rate of up to 450 Mbps, enabling high-speed connections for multiple users simultaneously. The WAP321 also includes advanced features such as multiple SSIDs and VLAN support, allowing businesses to segment their networks for enhanced security and management control.

One of the standout characteristics of the WAP321 is its ability to act as a lightweight access point, meaning it can be managed through a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for larger deployments. This capability allows for centralized management of multiple access points, making it easier for IT administrators to deploy, configure, and monitor their network infrastructure.

On the other hand, the Cisco WAP121 is designed for those requiring a simpler, more cost-effective solution. This single-band access point also operates on the 2.4 GHz band but still provides robust performance with wireless speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps. It is ideal for small businesses looking to develop or expand their wireless networks without the complexities associated with more advanced systems.

Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, enabling them to receive power through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power outlets. Additionally, they support advanced security protocols, including WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the network remains protected from unauthorized access.

The ease of setup and user-friendly management interfaces of both the WAP321 and WAP121 make them appealing options for businesses lacking extensive IT resources. With features aimed at enhancing both performance and security, these access points represent powerful tools for achieving reliable wireless connectivity in a business environment. Whether organizations opt for the WAP321 for its extensive capabilities or the WAP121 for its simplicity, both access points reflect Cisco's dedication to meeting diverse networking needs.
