4. Specify the users who can read and optionally modify the SNMP-capable client.
5. If configuring SNMP v3 user definitions, set the SNMP v3 engine ID.
6. Click Apply to save any changes to the SNMP Access screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.
Passwords Select Passwords to display the Password Settings screen for
specifying authentication and password settings for an SNMP v3
user. The maximum password length is 11 characters. Use the
Authentication Algorithm drop-down menu to specify MD5 or
SHA1 as the authentication algorithm. Use the Privacy Algorithm
drop-down menu to define an algorithm of DES or AES-128bit .
When entering the same username on the SNMP Traps and
SNMP Access screens, the password entered on the SNMP Traps
page overwrites the password entered on the SNMP Access page.
To avoid this problem, enter the same password on both pages.
Access Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R) access or
read/write (RW) access for a user. Read-only access permits a user
to retrieve
AP-5131 information, while read/write access allows a
user to modify AP-5131 settings.
SNMP Access Control Click the SNMP Access Control button to display the SNMP
Access Control screen for specifying which users can read
SNMP-generated information and potentially modify related
settings from an SNMP-capable client.
The SNMP Access Control screen's Access Control List (ACL) uses
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to restrict access to the AP’s SNMP
interface. The ACL applies to both SNMP v3 user definitions and
SNMP v1/v2c community definitions.
For detailed instructions of configuring SNMP user access and
modification privileges, see
Configuring SNMP Access Control on
page 4-23 .
AP-5131 SNMP v3
Engine ID
The AP-5131 SNMP v3 Engine ID field lists the unique SNMP v3
Engine ID for the AP-5131 . This ID is used in SNMP v3 as the
source for a trap, response or report. It is also used as the
destination ID when sending get, getnext, getbulk, set or inform
commands.
