Targets

 

 

 

 

 

•Group—The group that the user is mapped to. The default groups are RWAuth, RWPriv, and RO. You can define additional groups on the SNMP Groups page.

•Authentication Type—The type of authentication to use on SNMPv3 requests from the user, which can be one of these options:

-MD5—Require MD5 authentication on SNMP requests from the user.

-None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no authentication.

•Authentication Pass Phrase—(If you specify MD5 as the Authentication Type) A pass phrase to enable the SNMP agent to authenticate requests sent by the user. The pass phrase must be between 8 and 32 characters in length.

•Encryption Type—The type of privacy to use on SNMP requests from the user, which can be one of these options:

-DES—Use DES encryption on SNMPv3 requests from the user.

-None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no privacy.

•Encryption Pass Phrase—(If you specify DES as the privacy type) A pass phrase to use to encrypt the SNMP requests. The pass phrase must be between 8 and 32 characters in length.

STEP 5 Click Save. The user is added to the SNMPv3 Users list and your changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

NOTE To remove a user, select the user in the list and click Delete.

Targets

SNMPv3 targets send SNMP notifications using Inform messages to the SNMP Manager. For SNMPv3 targets, only Informs are sent, not traps. For SNMP versions 1 and 2, traps are sent. Each target is defined with a target IP address, UDP port, and SNMPv3 user name.

NOTE SNMPv3 user configuration (see the Users page) should be completed before configuring SNMPv3 targets.

NOTE The WAP device supports a maximum of eight targets.

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.
