Configuring specific SNMP traps

Use the SNMP Traps screen to enable specific traps on the Mobility 5181 Access Point. Brocade
recommends defining traps to capture unauthorized devices operating within the Mobility 5181
Access Point coverage area. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the
generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed
SNMP environment, traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and v3. To
configure specific SNMP traps on the Mobility 5181 Access Point:

Community

Enter a community name specific to the SNMP-capable client that receives
the traps.

SNMP Version

Use the SNMP Version drop-down menu to specify v1 or v2.
Some SNMP clients support only SNMP v1 traps, while others support
SNMP v2 traps and possibly both, verify the correct traps are in use with
clients that support them.

Add

Click Add to create a new SNMP v3 Trap Configuration entry.

Delete

Select Delete to remove an entry for an SNMP v3 user.

Destination IP

Specify a numerical (non DNS name) destination IP address for receiving the
traps sent by the Mobility 5181 Access Point SNMP agent.

Port

Specify a destination User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for receiving traps.

Username

Enter a username specific to the SNMP-capable client receiving the traps.

Security Level

Use the Security Level drop-down menu to specify a security level of noAuth (no
authorization), AuthNoPriv (authorization without privacy), or AuthPriv
(authorization with privacy).
The “NoAuth” setting specifies no login authorization or encryption for the user.
The “AuthNoPriv” setting requires login authorization, but no encryption. The
“AuthPriv” setting requires login authorization and uses the Data Encryption
Standard (DES)
.

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.
If 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.
