Setting the SNMP Configuration
Adding or Editing a Management Access Policy
Optionally use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to communicate with devices
within the network. SNMP is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of
management information between the controller or service platform and a managed device. SNMP
enabled devices listen on port 162 (by default) for SNMP packets from the controller or service
platform’s management server. SNMP uses read-only and read-write community strings as an
authentication mechanism to monitor and configure supported devices. The read-only community
string is used to gather statistics and configuration parameters from a supported wireless device.
The read-write community string is used by a management server to set device parameters. SNMP
is generally used to monitor a system’s performance and other parameters.
To configure SNMP Management Access:
1. Select the SNMP tab from the Management Policy screen.
