Configuring SNMP settings

4

1. Select System Configuration - > SNMP Access from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.

SNMP v1/v2c community definitions allow read-only or read/write access to Mobility 5181
Access Point management information. The SNMP community includes users whose IP
addresses are specified on the SNMP Access Control screen.

A read-only community string allows a remote device to retrieve information, while a read/write
community string allows a remote device to modify settings. Brocade recommends considering
adding a community definition using a site-appropriate name and access level. Set up a
read/write definition (at a minimum) to facilitate full access by the Mobility 5181 Access Point
administrator.

2. Configure the SNMP v1/v2 Configuration field (if SNMP v1/v2 is used) to add or delete

community definitions, name the community, specify the OID and define community access.

Add

Click Add to create a new SNMP v1/v2c community definition.

Delete

Select Delete to remove a SNMP v1/v2c community definition.

Community

Use the Community field to specify a site-appropriate name for the community.
The name is required to match the name used within the remote network
management software.
