DESCRIPTION

SNMP Version

Select the SNMP version for the NWA. The SNMP version on the NWA

 

must match the version on the SNMP manager. Choose SNMP version

 

1 (SNMPv1), SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) or SNMP version 3

 

(SNMPv3).

 

 

Trap Community

Type the trap community, which is the password sent with each trap

 

to the SNMP manager. The default is “public” and allows all requests.

 

This field is available only when SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 is selected in

 

the SNMP Version field.

 

 

User Profile

This field is available only when you select SNMPv3 in the SNMP

 

Version field.

 

When sending SNMP v3 traps (messages sent independently by the

 

SNMP agent) the agent must authenticate the SNMP manager. If the

 

SNMP manager does not provide the correct security details, the

 

agent does not send the traps.

 

The NWA has two SNMP version 3 login accounts, User and Admin.

 

Each account has different security settings. You can use either

 

account’s security settings for authenticating SNMP traps.

 

Select User to have the NWA use the User account’s security

 

settings, or select Admin to have the NWA use the Admin account’s

 

security settings.

 

Use the Configure SNMPv3 User Profile link to set up each

 

account’s security settings.
