SMC Networks SMC2555W-AG manual Snmp

System Configuration

SNMP

You can use a network management application such as SMC’s EliteView to manage the SMC2555W-AG via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from a network management station. To implement SNMP management, the SMC2555W-AG must have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either manually or dynamically. Once an IP address has been configured, appropriate SNMP communities and trap receivers should be configured.

Community names are used to control management access to SNMP stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the access point. To communicate with the access point, a management station must first submit a valid community name for authentication. You therefore need to assign community names to specified users or user groups and set the access level.
