SNMP for Access Points

Access points also support SNMP. The administrator can configure all or some of the APs to access data using SNMP as well as receive traps from the APs. The APs can be acting as Air Monitors (AMs) when they are used to access information about the wireless network using SNMP. The SNMP configuration for the APs can be done at a global level (thereby being applicable for all the APs in the network), or for a particular set of APs by using the AP location codes.

Note: The configuration for access points is always done on the master WFS709TP only.
