D-Link DWS 3000 user manual Using Snmp

1 Overview of the D-Link Unified Access System

To display the commands available in the current mode, enter a question mark (?) at the command prompt. To display the available command keywords or parameters, enter a question mark (?) after each word you type at the command prompt. If there are no additional command keywords or parameters, or if additional parameters are optional, the following message appears in the output:

<cr> Press Enter to execute the command

For more information about the CLI, see the D-Link CLI Command Reference.

The D-Link CLI Command Reference lists each command available from the CLI by the command name and provides a brief description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following information:

•The command keywords and the required and optional parameters.

•The command mode you must be in to access the command.

•The default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.

The show commands in the document also include a description of the information that the command shows.

Using SNMP

For D-Link WLAN Controller Switch software that includes the SNMP module, you can configure SNMP groups and users that can manage traps the SNMP agent generates.

The D-Link WLAN Controller Switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality as well as a number of additional private MIBs for additional functionality supported by the switch. All private MIBs begin with a “DLINK-” prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in DLINK-SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.

SNMP is enabled by default. The System Description Web page, which is the page the displays after a successful login, and the show sysinfo command display the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.

Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, you need to configure a new user profile. To configure a profile by using the CLI, see the SNMP section in the D-Link CLI Command Reference. To configure an SNMPv3 profile by using the Web interface, use the following steps:

1.Select LAN > Administration > User Accounts from the hierarchical tree on the left side of the Web interface.

2.Using the User pull-down menu, select Create to create a new user.

3.Enter a new user name in the User Name field.

4.Enter a new user password in the Password field and then retype it in the Confirm Password field.

To use SNMPv3 Authentication for this user, set a password of eight or more alphanumeric characters.

5.To enable authentication, use the Authentication Protocol pull-down menu to select either MD5 or SHA for the authentication protocol.
