SNMP parameters for AP

Cloud Network Manager supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 for reporting purposes only. An AP cannot use SNMP to set values in HP system.

You can configure the following parameters for an AP:

Table 29: SNMP parameters for AP

Data pane item	Description
Community Strings for SNMPV1	An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password,
and SNMPV2	and is used to authenticate messages sent between the VC and the
	SNMP agent.

If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values from the AP, you can configure the following parameters:

Name	A string representing the name of the user.
Authentication Protocol	An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be
	authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol used.
	Specify one of the following values:
	• MD5— HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
	• SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
Authentication protocol	If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the
password	(private) authentication key is used with the authentication protocol.
	This is a string password for MD5 or SHA depending on the choice
	above.
Privacy protocol	An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be
	protected from disclosure, and if yes, the type of privacy protocol
	which is used. This takes the value DES (CBC-DES Symmetric
	Encryption).
Privacy protocol password	If messages sent on behalf of this user can be encrypted/decrypted
	with DES, the (private) privacy key is used with the privacy protocol.
